Justin started ice skating lessons today it did very good. Looks like only a few things more to pass and the coach wants to move him to the next level. We practiced this week on roller blades at the school across the street 3 times and it paid off big time.

He is stronger this year and with a Hockey stick in his hand finds a way to get a move on. Walking into the dressing room, tightening the skates and sliding on the helmet brought back memories of me in my shamrock hockey jersey from Parry Sound for sure. Justin has that spark in his eye for hockey…. asking as we left the dressing room… “dad I want to go watch the hockey players practice on the other rink”… then started to ask if there was a family skate in the afternoon we could go to.

Justin chose to have his Birthday at “Reptillia” this year as he turned 5.  Mostly boys and a few girls to hang with Erika they all had a good time from Cake to Snakes!

First off check out Justin’s cool Birthday Card from gramma!

So now onto Turtles, Snakes and Crocodiles. Kevin our in-room helper was excellent with the kids and at teaching about each of the reptiles Justin and his friends got to touch. Even mommy had a breakthrough and barely touched a snake!

Here are some of the photos from the party and on the tour.

Here is some of the video we took at the party. Leave Justin a comment!!

Justin and I took a trip to Huntsville to visit uncle Paul. There was tons of snow and Justin got his first ride on a Snowmobile. Justin just loved the family dog… Maggie. You’ll see below them hanging out together. We got to see cousin Jacob play some Hockey and also got to see gramma!!!

Some Photos from the trip!

Some Videos of Maggie sharing her bed with Justin and then bundled up outside on the Sled!

While Erika went to spend the day at a friends house for the day Justin and hung out a home. He was visiting all kinds of websites and clicking on a few of the bookmarks I set up for him… I snapped this shot just after seeing that he had clicked onto his pop pop’s website. That is why I did that site… years of what this photo looks like. www.peterschnurr.com
