King-Size Bed
We came up to Whistler to meet our friends, Jim & Kris, from California. Holly enjoyed sleeping in the big bed with us... taking up more room than either Mommy or Daddy!

Mackenzie's birthday
Today we went to Mackenzie's 2nd birthday party (on her actual birth day - Valentine's Day!). We had fun with all the other kids playing games and listening to music!

The birthday cake - made by a friend of Mimi's (Mackenzie's mom)!
The birthday girl!
Yummy birthday cupcake!
Holly and Isabelle (the 2 monkeys) crawling over Paul. Maybe they'll become a tag-team wrestling team!

Skiing at Manning
This morning, as we were packing up to head home (we had to check out before our scheduled lessons), we noticed a lot of static in the air in our room. Holly's hair kept flying all over so we got her to stand by the wall where it immediately stuck and got a great, funny photo.
The second shot is of Holly skiing with teacher Dad. We had planned to put Holly in a ski lesson here and myself in a snowboard lesson, but 3 of the instructors called in sick this morning and the lodge failed to send our names up to the ski school, so they had no idea we were coming, besides which there were 140 students from a high school up, too! Needless to say, we didn't get our "official" lesson, so we headed to the bunny hill and Paul helped us both out! He did get a couple of hours of snowboarding and skiing in before we headed home!

Manning Park
Today we went to Manning Park for an overnight stay. We got a special at the lodge up there and decided to take a break from the cold..... by taking advantage of the cold and heading up for some skiing/snowboarding/skating.
The lodge was great - and it only took us about 2 hours to get there. Paul did some skiing after we arrived, while Holly and I had lunch, and walked around. We checked out the outdoor skating rink and found some ice sculptures built around the rink... besides the bear with the honey pot and ice house pictured here, there was a dinosaur beside an overturned car, a shark (complete with victim!), and a sinking ship, among others - someone was very creative! When Paul came back, we went for a quick skate and then a dip in the pool and hot tub before dinner. We were all in bed and asleep by 9pm!
