2013:Camp Fortune Ski Trip - 5 yrs old

Feb 16, 2013 (Saturday)

We woke up at 6am, Jacob had his hockey from 7 to 8am. Then, we arrived at Camp Fortune around 8:40am. Enjoyed skiing from 9am to 4pm.

Snow condition was perfect at Spark, so we decided to stay at this trail the whole morning. We had a little break at the resting building near Skyline lift around 10:50am. Mommy bought Jacob a bag of chip for his snack.

Yaya had her ski lesson in the morning. We met Yaya around 12:30pm for lunch. At around 1:30pm, we went to Spark again, with Yaya and her classmate Justin. (Of course Yaya and Justin's parents were with us too.)

At the end of the day, we skied down Spark Trail (Intermediate trail) 15 times.

Well, after the ski, we went to Bayshore shopping center to pickup a gift card on behalf of our cell group, then picked up a pizza. Reached home around 7pm, then watched Sens vs Leafs game 1st period before going bed.  Had to wake up at 5:30am the next day again for the hockey practice.

What a day!

This was a busy weekends for the kids. They played 4 hockeys in 26 hours: Saturday 7am practice, 2pm game, 4pm game and Sunday 8am practice. Jacob struggled a bit to wake up on Sunday morning, but he was excited again after daddy promised getting him Mc Donald's happy meal after the practice. Well, after 4 hockeys, he felt great again that we skated in canal and had beaver tail together with Andrew for almost 2 hours after the church service.

Santa coming to our home on a sleigh ?

Today's children are so surrounded by video games, tablets, countless toys and TVs, and yet they keep saying "boring" or telling you "I don't know what to play" when there are so many toys in front of them.

Let's go back to old school. One toy multiple plays. No toy endless play.

Imagination is just endless.
