Our Adventures

Work is slow this week so I thought I'd catch up on the happenings around here. A few weekends ago we took advantage of the spring-like weather we've been having. We went for a hike up to Mt. Slesse with our friends Ryan and Cheryl. The hike took us about 5 hours in total (but that included walking up and down a logging road for two hours) and we had an amazing view at the base of Mt. Slesse. We hit snow pretty soon in our hike but it was nice and packed down so besides having to be careful with your footing the snow didn't slow us down too much. Supposedly there was a plane crash at the mountain about 50 years ago where everyone on board died. There was a memorial but it was covered in about 5 feet of snow so we didn't get to see much of that. It was a great hike and really refreshing to get outside in some great weather.

Chris had his last basketball game of the season last night. His team won the Fraser Valley East and last night was the beginning of all the Fraser Valley's to get into Provincials. His team didn't seem to be on their best game last night and ended up losing and getting eliminated from any hopes of getting farther. Although it will be nice to have more free time I think Chris is going to miss coaching those boys.

Not much else has been going on around here. The Olympics have started and we're starting to regret not getting tickets to an event. I had a friend who was at the freestyle skiing where Canada won its first gold and I was pretty jealous. We're planning on heading into Vancouver this weekend though to share in some of the Olympic spirit downtown and see all the different displays they have there.
