Swimming lessons

THe kids started swimming lessons last weekend. This was Anna's second time and Jamie's first. They both loved splashing around with other kids and didn't even mind coming out into the cold after we were done :)
I swam with Anna and since I had the camera we didn't get any pics of her except on the deck.

Jamie is in the duck class. He loved the water but mostly the toys!

The End Of The King

Anna and I went wandering the other day to check out what was happening with the ice castle. Turns out they do knock it down so that it doesn't hurt anyone.
This is what the entrance to the ice road looks like

And here is the sad looking castle. **NOTE** We didn't walk alllll the way to the castle because Anna was having WAY too much fun splashing in all of the puddles.

A Spring Day at the Park

It has been warming up nicely (-2 or -3) in the afternoons here in YK so we have ventured out a few times to locals parks. The kids have a blast because they zip super fast down the slides when they have their snowpants on and it's still fairly snowy at the bottom so it doesn't hurt!
