March 2013: Robin - What are YOU doing in Canada?!

Another month.....another holiday for the Rowlatts??? ;)

Our long planned ski trip to Whistler, Canada was finally here. The trip out went fairly smoothly, with a man sat near us swiftly vacating his seat on the plane once he realised he had a neighbour, Robin had her own Business class seat the whole way to Vancouver and made full use of the Highlife entertainment…Baby Jake, on a loop, headphones not needed!

That Baby Jake loves a good joke!

Sightseeing in Vancouver wasn’t easy as the weather was particularly miserable the first couple of days but we and Dan Powell made the most of our day to explore the city’s sights.

A short drive out of Vancouver took us to snowy Whistler and our lovely big house where we met with the rest of our “crew”. Robin loved all the group fun and attention. She made full use of a bunch of toys we borrowed for the house and especially loved trundling around with a buggy which wasn’t much fun for those trying to sleep in past 9am ;)

Reading about why she loves her Daddy with Uncle Matthew

 Along with fun in and around the house, we went in to town for some sing a long fun at the library in Whistler and visited the local Squamish museum.

We’re going on a bear hunt

The first night back was not much fun at all. After a couple of hours sleep, I left for work with Bun and Bo sleeping like babies.

Easter was fun this year as we got involved in some real activities!! Robin made her first Easter cakes at nursery. She would not let go of this little cornflake cake all the way home or all evening, finally giving it up around bath time!

Our NCT friend, Ehryn organised the lovliest little Easter Egg hunt for the kids in a local secret garden. It was a chilly but lovely afternoon and we and kids loved it!
