Field Trip!

On Friday, Jaidyn's Kindergarten class went on a Field Trip to the Calgary Tower. I volunteered so I could go too. It has been many years since I have been up there. The glass floor they put in a few years ago was definitely the highlight. Most of the kids had no fear and walked and laid down on it but there were only a few of the parent volunteers brave enough to step on it. I was one of the brave ones but I couldn't really look down. I knew I was completely safe but felt so scared. What a strange feeling!
Looking out over the city was cool...it has grown so much. The kids all had a fun day even though it started to snow so it limited the visibility. I was happy to spend the day with Jaidyn and her class. We had a great time! Thanks Sherilyn for babysitting Holton!

Jaidyn and I on the bus. What a beautiful view! Jaidyn with no fear at all! Looking straight down from the glass floor! Some of the kids writing in their booklets.

Snow Day!

Yesterday we woke up to a Winter Wonderland. There was so much wet snow on the ground which caused chaos for the morning commuters. I got Mateya to the bus on time but she told me after school that it took them 2 hours to get to school. About 10 minutes after Cyril left for work he called me and said traffic was at a stand still and that he was coming home. It still took him 20 mins just to get back. He took the whole day off and so we played in the snow and made a snowman. It wasn't very cold outside but there was tons of wet sticky snow. By 11 am the sun was out and things were melting fast. At about 4 pm dark clouds rolled in and it started to snow again. It was heavy and thick but luckily it only lasted about an hour. It's amazing how the weather can change so quickly. It's even going to be shorts weather by the weekend! CRAZY!!
