Blizzrd 2010!



 This was our road the day after the blizzard hit...
Regina actually had a snow day...
They NEVER do snow days here...
at least not in the 8 years I have lived in SK...
The buses were not running,
schools were closed,
about half the businesses were closed...


 

Kendal and I actually made it to church on Sunday,
but it wasn't a fun drive..


 

 I was impressed with the neighbor a couple of doors down
from us, who came and used his snow blower on our driveway,
and most of our neighbors driveways,
and on the back alley...

 

I was NOT so impressed with one of our direct neighbors
who rented a Bobcat to clear his driveway,
and the part of road in front of his house,
but piled all the snow in our yard..
I understand it needed to go somewhere,
but he could have at least cleared in front of our house then as well...it was all of five more feet..

 

 

This is our back yard...
Our garbage bin is back there...
I did have a path shoveled to the gate..
I think we may have garbage on our deck till some of the snow melts...LOL!

My birthday Boy...

We brought Jeremy to It's a Blast
for his third birthday...
The kids had a great time,
but we were a little disappointed..
It has gone down hill since we have been there last..
We were ignored at the door,
for about five minutes or more when we got there,
when we did get in,
there were no balls in the pits..
When we did ask about it,
We were told they had been shifted
to the other pit...
(great excuse..couldn't make up another?)
There were no balls there either..
We wouldn't have been that annoyed..
except they have raised the prices...  :(
Kids still had fun though...
We stayed for two hours..



 The birthday boy...

YES! There are hills in Saskatchewan .....





They may not be BC style sledding hills,
but we do have them...
and some of them are pretty big...
We like this hill, because it is at the local Elementary school
by our house,
and it is small enough for the little kids...



Even so, it has been almost 15 years since
I have been sledding,
and I am such a chicken, that I screamed like a little girl
all the way down the hill... LOL!
I was worse then Gracie,
and she has never been before....



The weather was almost too nice for sledding
It was 0, and sunny...
Amazing, considering we have been trying to take them all winter
and it has been way too cold out...

 
  

 
 
 

They both had a great time,
and we ended up outside for about two hours..
Gracie didn't slide for too long.
She didn't like getting snow in her face,
but we had a hard time getting Jeremy to stop...
We are hoping it will be nice next weekend,
so we can bring our grand kids out as well...
