Hockey and Mountaineering

The playground was fun, but too bumpy for poor Ada's wee short legs. However, the ice rink?

Now that's something a wee one can manage! At this time of year, the ice isn't slick at all, but merely a nice, smooth, crunchy base for trundling about upon.

A nice, smooth space that's bordered by MOUNTAINS! Even the wee ones love a challenge.

I love the eager little pom-pom at the bottom. "Me, too, guys!!"

Park in Snow

I love this face.

The crew, at the park.

Addie tackles the climber. Is it the first time since last fall?

Not bad, handicapped by mittens, boots and snowsuit.

Helloooo, down there! Dries surveys the world from the top of the slide.

Cute little glance from the Climber Extrordinaire!

The climbing wall.

Nice that those other guys are having such fun, but the uneven terrain itself was sufficient challenge for little Ada. Hmph!

WInter's Last Hurrah?

Ada can manage the sidewalks,

thanks to Nora's diligent shovelling!

Ella creates a slide down the mountain ... with her butt.

While others of us prefer to charge down the mountain on our feet!

Mittens? I don't need no stinkin' mittens...
