Theo's Sports

Theo is busy while here in Comox. He swims once a week and is working on getting another badge. He played rugby a couple of times but the league was new and they didn't have many players. He played in a curling bonspiel for a weekend and learned the basics of the game. He also takes tennis lessons once a week as well. He has a wicked serve. He plays basketball every Sunday in a league called Thunderball. He also played for his school basketball team. Finally he plays baseball twice a week as well. He played softball over in NZ but this is his first go at baseball. He loves his sports and being active. We are very proud of him for having a go at everything!

Easter Break

The kids have a long weekend because of Easter. Uncle Kieran came over from Vancouver to hang out with us. We did all sorts of things. Basketball games, decorated eggs, hid a carrot for the Easter Bunny, woke up to lots of chocolate and candy on Easter morning and got some new kites from Gramma and Bunka's friends, Stuart and Jean. Theo went to a friend's house so we headed out to Air Force Beach to fly the kites and watch the Snowbirds. Cohen was an expert in kite flying and I had to choose between watching him and watching the Snowbirds perform their aerial tricks! Both were amazing. Enjoy the movie about Cohen flying his kite.

Jam Can!

On the weekend Theo took part in a curling weekend. It was called Jam Can. They used coffee can filled with cement instead of the real rocks. The real rocks are way too heavy. There were a lot of kids who took part and Theo made new friends. What a great opportunity....another Canadian experience! Theo's Curling Weekend on PhotoPeach

Spring Birds Arrive

The hummingbirds are back. It's amazing hearing the buzz of their wings and watching them feed. Amazing wee creatures. The last photo is of a crow...of which there are many. Birds in Our Garden on PhotoPeach

2nd Week of Spring Break

Today it was sunny so we headed up the mountain. We were going tubing where you ride a big inflatable tube down a steep hill. Madeline, Theo, Cohen, Filo and Bunka all went and mum watched and took photos. It was a lot of fun. The last time we went was 4 years ago and we think the hills were steeper and faster then. we got to have the famous Beaver Tails. Madeline and Theo had peanut butter and chocolate ones. Cohen had a cookies and cream one. Filo had maple butter on his and I had the original. They were super yum! Enjoy the slideshow! Tubing at Mt Washington on PhotoPeach
