We caught with our friends in the park. The girls really enjoyed climbing on the structures and SV really enjoyed making tools. She made a good effort but unfortunately had little success, but it didn't matter. A nice picnic lunch meant they had plenty of energy to keep playing.
February was another busy month and despite being short we had heaps on. We continued skiing, playing with our friends, and some of us learning to cook. Despite it being winter it didn't rain all that much so we spent a fair amount outside playing. Good month full of fun.
SV got to spend some time after school with her good friend EJ. They are getting to know each other better and becoming good mates. SV also got to spend some nice time with KT at dinner, which she needed.
We went down to the Bay Area for a house warming for Auntie Joanna and Uncle Marek's new house. The whole family got together and we managed to mostly eat and spend time together. It was really nice and the weekend absolutely flew by.
We finally got our act together and started back at the dentist again. This time MV went first and tried out the new dentist. She did was fine and the appointment went well. We didn't go to Pepper Lunch after since they don't have it here, but she did get a treat after dinner.
TV signed up for the first mountain bike cross country race for the year as preparation for the BC Bike Race. It was really fun as Babicka and the girls came along for support. TV ended up coming in second place for his category, and the girls were all winners.
We found a couple of nice spots along the river where we stopped and relaxed for a little while. Watching the animals and generally enjoyed nature. It was really nice and somewhat reminiscent of a Sydney winter day of sunshine along the Parramatta River or Georges River.
TV took the girls and their friend for a walk along the river because it was such a lovely winter day. There were a fair few people but we found some trails that weren't too busy so the girls could just run and be loud. We saw a few animals but mostly just explored.
We went to Lake Tahoe again for a bit of a holiday and one of the activities the girls wanted to do was to go to the casino arcade. We meant to go for a short time but the girls were having a really good time. They were playing the some of the claw machines and were winning everything. It was really quite incredible. They of course had a great time and were excited on the way home.
