Family Day Weekend in Whistler!

I know many of you, by now, have already seen these photos, but I am using the photos from this mini family vacation as my reason to post and blog again! Must get back in to the habit. Here goes!

We arrived on Saturday and enjoyed two days of beautiful sunshine, but not much snow!


All geared-up and ready to go

One of Miles' favourite winter activities...a coffee shop visit!

On the playground in the Olympic Plaza

Our final day was full of snow. Kids were thrilled.

He doesn't yet know what he is in for. I am doing my best to try and remember what we're in for!  Haven't skied in about 20 years.

Ski break at Milestones.

We skied to the secret Tree house on Whistler.  Next trip, will try skiing to the Enchanted Castle on Blackcomb.

Taking a break



The sky was an incredible colour. As good as iPhone cameras are, this doesn't quite do it justice. 



Exhausted children were asleep within 30 seconds of turning the light out


Sammy did take a bit of a tumble on the ski hill. She ended up with a few scratches on her cheeks (seen here) and a nose bleed. Blood on the freshly fallen snow looked very dramatic which resulted in many people stopping to help us. Thankfully, it wasn't serious and their assistance wasn't required. Once the bleeding had stopped Sammy continued down the hill,  although more cautiously than before.
