Hockey week in Canada

Sara and RJ headed to Niagara Falls for a weekend hockey tournament. Julia and Doug stayed home and tried to save money by eating stir-fry and leftovers.

All aboard the UA puddle-hopper


Nice ... room overlooked Niagara Falls



Opening Ceremonies with pin swap



Opening ceremonies were long but kids got to swap pins with other teams. 

Weather was warmer than it looked!



Crossing back-and-forth between countries (did not require the notarized form)



RJ and Hudson at the Sabers game on the last night



Hockey Results:
Well ... 0-4 sounds pretty bad ... but each game was a 1-2 goal affair so there were not any blowouts. RJ had a goal and got to play center because some folks didn't make the trip.

Julia and Doug got some quality time with Legos and some household stuff

New Year at Whitetail

Fireworks at 10pm and uncrowded slopes made Whitetail a good way to ring in the new year. Kids friends were all there to add to the fun.

9:30am ... where is everybody?


Getting the new year off to a good start!



Sara kept the streak of one of the family being sick on New Year's Eve alive. She got a doozey of a sinus infection.
