The Easter Bunny Has Arrived!

Kids are lucky these days.........Alex has already had 3 Easter Egg Hunt and he still has another one tomorrow! Lucky for him, his mother has a sweet tooth, she can help eat "all" the chocolate he has found!

Today, we were at the Wildlife Park for the annual Easter Event: a little time on the bouncy castle, a train ride, check out some wildlife, a little play in the gigantic tree house and of course....the Easter egg hunt!

Below: Alex and Josephine

Tomorrow, we are going to an Ukrainian Easter Party: Egg Derby and lots of food!

Mini Olympics at Stake Lake!

Every year at Stake Lake the Mini Olympics are held for the kids involved in The Olverlander Ski Club. This year we had a sunny day with a some fresh snow and an amazing turn out! After the opening ceremonies everyone took part in 7 stations from ski jumping to relay races. After the events all the kids enjoyed hot dogs and the famous "cookie medals". Then we headed home, but the kids were still very hungry so we went through drive thru at McDonalds.....I was okay with the kids eating McDonalds because they are a major sponsor for the Olympics(so it must be good).

Alex racing on Team Japan.......very focussed as he prepares to jump!
Team Japan: Great Team Spirit!
Jaymie from Team Canada: Warms up before her events!
