Low-speed March Break

Kieran's first March Break ever. We were trying to plan out what we were going to do for 2 weeks. At first we were going to go away.
But going away in March is twice as costly as if you were to go between Jan to end of Feb.
I ended up getting scheduled on a course during the first week of Kieran's march break.
So we decided to just head up to the cottage for the second week.


It seemed really long. Mostly because I had to use dial-up. There is no high speed internet service in the highlands. But what it did was disable me from connecting to work. I was disconnected. It was a bit stressful, but was probably a good thing. How can you take time off from work when you're still trying to work.

But we had lots of things going on.

We had a celebrity desperate housewife birthday.
Can you guess who it was by reading the cake?
It was Gwen Stefani Kranjec.

Yep...another year gone by.




There was ice fishing.
But none were biting. I think they went south for the winter.






There was skating. The ice had been softened by the sun in recent days, but it was still skateable.
So we practiced with a puck and stick.







We visited Santa's reindeer compound.
How did we know? We found land mines.
Every day we found more.





We tobagganed, and boarded down Sir Sinclairs.
Trying to avoid some tree stumps and reindeer poop. Don't wanna catch lime disease you know.

It was tiring walking up. The snow was getting slower by the day because of the rise in temperature. It was just above freezing.
It was pretty challenging going down too. The driveway was narrow and towards the end I'd cross over int



And we had Pocoyo picnics outside. Out in the back, on the doc, wherever it was convenient and not melting, and no poop.





And then there was the eating of leftovers every meal of every single day. And since we weren't going to be up at the cottage for several weeks, we had to try to eat anything that wasn't frozen, or had an expiry date in May. How can milk last over 2 months?





What we didn't finish we took to the dump to feed to the bomber hawks.

Going to the dump makes you want to not waste so much.
Everyone should do it. Especially on a nice hot and humid summer day and there's bears out.
