First Snowfall of the Year!!!

On November 12th, we recieved our first snowfall. It was the first at the new house and the girls were thrilled to get out and play in it. I posted some pictures on facebook and one of my friends said I should send it to Global BC news because they were looking for pictures of this allusive snowfall they were hearing about. They ended up being on the Global BC webpage as the top story.

Of course they got the location wrong but thats the news for you. Grandma and Grandpa were up in Kamloops and were checking on the weather before they headed for home and were surprised to see their grandchildren on it. That was funny! Check out the video below.



The carrot was from the garden



November Nonsence

November is one of those months that are busy but hard to remember things that occur in this month. This particular weekend there was three birthday parties that the girls were invited to. The girls riding lessons also are continuing. Vanessa is not strong enough for English riding so her teacher thought she should try Western with Sage. She did not like it as much and thought the horse went too slow. We will see if she will try it again next time.

These were weird mushrooms we saw near the Leisure Centre. I really didn't think red mushrooms with white polka-dots existed

Halloween Night

We decided to go to a friend's to Trick or Treat as many of the houses in our area have exceptionally long driveways and gates. many of the houses were decorated and I am sure this neighborhood saw hundreds of kids. It was insane!!! A lot of fun though.
Heather was a ghost and Vanessa was Hedwig.

Harry Potter Halloween at Kilby

Well this Halloween theme could not have been more perfect for the girls. They love Kilby and they also love Harry Potter. This was a lot of fun and the weather was cooperative for a great outdoor activity. We met a few friends there and there was lots to do and see. They always do a great job there.

There must have been a dozen little kitties around in the parking lot

Halloween Party

We had a good night at friends. love to see everyone in their costumes. They were all outstanding.
Todd was a Grave Digger and I was Wednesday from the Addams Family.

Todd had to drink his beer through a straw and through the nostril when he had his mask on. Yum...
