Learning to Drive....bumper cars.

Once Annie and Jack figured out how to drive it was very entertaining.






Galaxyland - West Edmonton Mall

Now the boys need real bikes.



Annie and Jack braved more rides then their aunt and mom...stomach gets weak when you get older!!

Drew was excited to spend the day on rides.



The afternoon of Christmas Day was spent at the West Edmonton Mall...the best day ever...not very many people!!

Killing time drving along at 60 klm on the QE2 because the truck was on vacation.....Are we there yet???

The Special Guest this year in Palm Springs

$5.00 a day Mid-life crisis

Thanks to nervous "Paul" at the rental counter, we got an upgrade to a 2010 Mustang convertible for $5.00 a day. This car was referred to as my mid life crisis...hahaha...I am not that old!!! and I would get a different car. But while you are in California you need to feel the sun at all time.

JW Marriott Resort - a place to call home for a week!!!





Afternoon entertainment - serious game of volleyball.

The view from the condo patio.



This year we stayed at the Marriott Resort - tennis courts, lots of pools and much more!!!




Palm Springs November 2009

Many hours were spent in the pool
Showing us his pipes infront of the hills that he loved.





Keanan Pearman - son of Rob and Trac who came to Palm Spring with us this year. We had a blast with everyone especially Keanan....great kid!!! He even liked to sun tan like the rest of us.



Opps....

I forgot to finish the email. I completed the 1/2 marathon in 2.14 hrs...so now I have a time to beat for next year!!!

Running Update....

Sorry about the lack of updates on the blog. So the weekend after the 10 klm run I did a 1/2 marathon run in Calgary. I had set a goal of 2.5 hours to complete the run. My running friend - Sarah Pihrag decided not to run so it was just me and 699 other runners. It was a cold morning ( very tempting to stay in bed). The run started at 7:45 am and when I crossed the finish line it started to snow. Sure felt good to get that one checked off the list. The run was followed by an hour massage and then home to relax for the rest of the weekend. My plan is to train for another run in the spring...anyone interested in running 21 klms with me???
