Time for Maple Syrup

 Saturday, March 26, 2022

 

The sap was running today so Grandpa and Barbara decided to check it out. Papa was busy stoking the fire. The boys were in charge of the sap level so Sam, David and their friend Ross were keeping an eye on it.

 

 

Since it was “spring” the boys asked if they could go for a bike ride.  Out came the bikes for their spring check up.  The bikes need a little attention but Papa fixed them and soon the boys and Molly were off on a ride/run around Pine Loop.  It wasn’t long before they were all back.

 

Molly got busy playing with the zip line rope.  Then she checked out some fresh chicken eggs for Grandpa and Barbara.

Mama gave a demo of her e-Spinner, using some of their rabbit fur.

 

Sam showed us his school photo proofs – he will be moving to Mont Bleu Ecole Secondaire (Grade 7) next September. 

We all enjoyed lunch together.

 

 

Dinner at 9 Lambert

Kirk and family were in town for some shopping so dropped the boys while they went to Ikea.

Later K&K came back and we all had dinner together.

A short but fun visit!

Skiing at MacKenzie King Estate

 March 13, 2022

Karine and the boys met Bill and Grant for a Sunday afternoon of cross-country skiing starting at Mackenzie King Estate.

Everyone took Trail 7 down the hills to the Parkway.  Grant, Karine Samuel and David continued across to the other section of Trail 7, while Bill skied down the Parkway to meet them.

By then, it was time for a snack break - hot chocolate and popcorn brought by Karine.

Grant and Samuel returned by Trail 15 with it's big climb. The others took the gentler but longer way back along the Parkway.

Back at the cars, Bill brought out the cookies and dog & cat treats that Barbara had sent along.  It was a wonderful day to be outdoors.
