Today the kids and I headed to the master centre for some skating. I have to say the cold if the arena was quite nice on this hot summer day.

Today Melissa and Violet set out to learn about hockey. Things like player positions and offsides. They started with YouTube videos and then moved on to Lego. Next thing I knew they had an entire rink drawn up on some cardboard. Complete with Lego players.

Today Violet’s 3 on 3 wrapped up, and what amazed me is that the drills they ran before the game seemed more challenging than most weeks. What’s even more impressive is that Violet seemed to excel at them all.  So for today’crs picture of the day I use a shot of Violet crouching and gliding as she heads acrosd the rink. as she slid down

Well the summer 3 on 3 season continues. Today I have a picture of Violet as she worked on her drills.

Today Violet got her new 3 on 3 hockey jersey. Sitting at CanLan today watching her play really made me proud. She tries so hard and seems to really enjoy herself out there.

After a day of dancing for Violet yesterday, today we had a day of Hockey.  Both Ball and Ice hockey, with swimming lessons and a birthday party thrown in. Even with all the running around the say went great.

I experienced a day of extremes today, in the morning I took the kids to swimming class at Gus Ryder pool keeps its temperature sweltering, no mater how hot or cold it is outside. Today it felt like a sauna. Then in the afternoon it was off to Canlan Ice Rink where I froze in my t-shirt and shorts. Though I did manage to get this cool picture of Violet during the drills.

Today we headed up to CanLan for Violets 3 on 3 hockey. She seems to be really excited to play. It was a bit strange being back at CanLan, Jacob took some of his early skating lessons there, when Violet was a baby. All she wanted to do back then was get on the ice. Well at last she can.

It’s Saturday so that means a morning spent out doors watching Violet play ball hockey. I loved this picture of our little number 7 charging towards the ball. I took lots more pictures and some video but with all the work organizing our storage room today I didn’t have a chance to do anything with them. Perhaps one day this week I will.
