Weekend Recap

I forgot to include this photo in my Friday Favourites when Q went to a friend's house after school. They were building a snow fort when I went to pick him up.

Now, onto our weekend...I had a special delivery on Friday from Australia. Ruth, your card finally arrived! Not before Christmas of course, but appreciated all the same.

We made some pizzas on Friday night and then watched a bit of the Raptors before sending the boys to bed at a decent time.

Saturday we were back on the ski hill for a blue bird day.  It was cold but beautiful.

I was waiting for my group after being the fast one :)

Ran into Q coming back outside after a quick warm up break. He was in good spirits. 

And ran into this dude on the hill.  We know where his group is training on the gates so we always try to catch E doing a run. Success this time!

And bonus, we got to ride the lift with him and his buddies.

We did a couple of runs with our friends.  You can see how clear of a day it was.

Lunchtime chaos. 

After training we got in the car to drive to Huntsville.  We were staying at the Hidden Valley Resort that night so we could be there for E's race the next morning.  The kids went for a swim and this was the view from the pool area.

We drove into town for dinner. 

We ate at the Huntsville Brewhouse.

Our group.

Because we were staying at the resort across from the ski hill, we were able to sleep in a little bit, and then walk over.  E needed to be there for his race so I walked over with him to get him set up, and then Q and Dave came over for 9:00 when the lifts opened. 

It was even colder on this morning and we were farther north so that made a difference too.  We skied for a bit before it was time to watch the racers. 

We caught E and his friends on the lift.

Here comes E on his first run.

Across the finish line.

He came in 23rd out of 45 racers. 

We then headed home for the longer than normal drive.  It was a bit slow around Barrie (isn't it always!) with traffic and some snow, but no real delays.  Dave quickly got ready and went to the airport as he was flying out that night to Vegas for a work trip.  The boys and I had dinner and watched Beast Games.  Then I suggested we all go up to my room and I put the Grammys on the iPad.  E watched with me, but Q just played on his own iPad, but we were all together. 

I loved the Grammys! I don't usually watch them but I thought it was amazing, every performance was awesome, they did a great job of recognizing the LA wildfires, Trevor Noah had the right tone, and I just loved seeing all those amazing women!  Not a fan of Kendrick Lamar though, I'm Team Drake all day.  I actually didn't finish the whole show but was able to watch the rest in the morning.
