Winter Adventures at Cedarwood

We went to Camp Cedarwood for the weekend.  My husband, a pastor, was speaking for our church's young adults retreat.  Cedarwood is one of my boys favourite places to go.  Lots of room to run, inside and out, and lots of fun winter activities.  They had a blast.

While my husband was speaking, I took the boys outside to watch some ice fishing. We tagged along with one of the Cedarwood staff guys and his sons. A perfect ending to our Arctic studies.

The orange flag pops up if a fish is caught.  There were 6 ice fishing holes drilled with the auger.

Abishai and Micaiah love sledding at Cedarwood.  This year they went down by themselves.

Ice skates and broom hockey

A great weekend.

Our Weekend: Pirates, Puddles and Books

This is my favorite used book store in the city.  It's called Sam's Place, and is a great place to have coffee and a light lunch.  Daren, lover of all things Hebrew and Greek has made a few great finds.  I love the children section.  I always seem to find classics and for the right price....cheap!  I also like that the money I spend there goes toward MCC and the work that they do.

Puddle Time!

Daren cutting off a branch for our first annual Easter Jesus Tree!  More on that in a future post.

This Weekend: Plumbing, Popcorn and Proverbs

Abishai fleeing in gleeful terror from Daddy and Micaiah.

Popping popcorn.  We tried extra virgin olive oil on our popcorn instead of butter.  It tasted just like butter, but is way healthier.  We added in a little Sea Salt and took it downstairs to watch a Planet Earth DVD!   

Abishai supervised Grandpa's installation of a brand new kitchen faucet!

 

Playing with the quiet book made by Jill Zurzolo.

Toy cars and pillow arranging.

Pretend phone calls to Grandma and potty training.

Lunch Time!
