2 little snow bunnies

I just found a really great radio station on the net, anyway I have got side tracked already I have heaps of exciting news this week.
We have had some odd weather lately Monday it rained in town and actually snowed at Scott's work at around 5-pm, Tuesday absolutely gorgeous sunny day still cold but sunny, Wednesday absolutely pelted down, Thursday gorgeous sunny day again, hopefully this will keep up all winter and not rain for 43 days straight like it did last year.

Ok second piece of exciting news (snow in delta was the first) last weekend we bought a taboggan on the Saturday, then on Sunday we went to Grouse mountain and played in the snow, they don't have anywhere where you can use sleds unfortunately. It was really cool you can only drive so far up then you have to take a cable car to the summit. Now this is no skyline skyrides in rotovegas gondola, these ones can hold 100 people at a time and you rise 1000 metres in 8 minutes. it was an amazing view of the city on the ride up it was a pity it was a bit cloudy. About half way up you started to notice a sprinkling of snow on the tree tops, and when you got to the summit everything was coated it was great. they have a little outdoor ice rink up there, it was incredible all these little kids hoofing it around on skates some looked 4 years old at the most with tiny little skates. Also up there they have a little movie theatre that plays documentries on the area etc, and 2 baby grizzlie bears in an enclosure, the cubs were orphaned and quite large. They weren't hibernating but they were hiding in there little house, but one came out to eat some snow just as we got there to have a look which was great. They had a few snow machines going it felt like light rain on your face, but unfortunately meant the snow wouldn't bind to make a snow man.

Catch you guys later.

love Monique and Scott
