Sunday eve here....so shall let you know what we have been up to the last few days. Thursday eve we took part in a 'Progressive Supper Party' - which involved 16 couples from around the patch (where each couple goes to someone else's house for a dinner course, hosting a course themselves). Luckily we were hosting the pre-dinner drinks which was very easy! A really good night, though needless to say, Friday was a complete right-off! Poor Leigh had to get up a do a 10k charity run! Saturday was more productive - we went to a place called Elkwater, just the otherside of Medicine Hat - another National Park, similar to Echo Dale with a big lake and beach. Needless to say, the kids stripped off and were straight in the water - lots of fun had! Leigh is hoping to get his speedboat licence whilst we are here and there is a speedboat here we can have use of and take to Elkwater. Should be fun! Apparently when the lake freezes during winter you can go along for a sleigh ride, ice fishing or ice skating.... Leigh has finished skate school without injury and is embarking on hockey school next week. My turn the week after....then the 'hockey season' really starts. Apparently our first match is against the Men's team....I bet they are scared!

WOW . . . we are so envious and it sounds like the kids are having a fantastic time as well ! I am already rooting for the Ladies to beat the Mens Team in ice hockey (we are more devious and can worm our way out of anything can't we ?) Love to you all Mum x x x x
