Up and Coming

This from Lina Rogers:
Next track and field practice: (weather permitting)
When: Wednesday, May 14th, 10:00am - noon (approx.)
Where: N'Kwala Park. This is by St. John's Luthern church. Turn on McDonald St. by the Tek Mar building on Silver Star Road. Parking is just down McDonald Road.

Also, a reminder that Amanda is organizing a Kelowna/Vernon homeschooler joint hike at Jack Seaton Park in Winfield on May 21, Wed., I'm not sure of the time yet. Is anyone else planning to go? We'll be in Kelowna that morning for a doctor appointment so we're planning to join them. It'd be great if people could carpool. If it's a nice enough day they're planning to stay a good long time and take picnics. I'll post more when I learn more.

Lastly, can everyone comment on their preference for the next meeting? Can enough people make it on Friday the 30th? Monique, you're still planning to come if it's on the Friday? Can more people weigh in on this please? Andrea's waiting to hear back. Thanks!

Snow Fun

I took my kids out to the Candlemass celebration and it was very magical. One of their activities was painting in the snow. The kids had made a giant castle for the gnomes and some snow people and then all the children were given big paintbrushes and some yogurt containers full of very diluted watercolour paints and they LOVEd painting the scene. My kids have been doing it non-stop ever since. I'm sure tempura paints would work as well, and it really isn't just for little-kids, as I can just imagine the magnificent artwork Maggie could create on her front lawn! We're finding that the slushy snow is perfect for this activity (and not much else?) as you can quickly scoop up a slushy castle with the wet snow... SO fun! Maybe this is an old idea for all of you, but just wanted to share in case you're looking for something fun outside to do...
