Snow - the movie speaks for itself

Cake

Mitchel has been loving the show Cake Boss on TLC, which made the idea of making a cake for a gathering of friends very appealing to him. It did not take him long to decided he had to make this one!

Trevor Linden

.. was in Nanaimo and we went down to "see" him. The boys were very clear that they had no intention of talking to him. Lucky for us on that one as there were about a thousand folks intent on talking to him, and they had arrived long before we had. We could however get close enough to capture this video.



And then Mitch announced, " I want to look at all the Jerseys," just loud enough for the guards at the door to hear him. Apparently the store was also open for business. Sneaky of us that the jerseys we wanted to see were the ones closest to Trevor. We did get a nice close up view .. perhaps we were all too star struck to pull out the camera to get any evidence of our closeness!

Hockey Night in Canada

Mitchel's interest in hockey has been sparked again. With a Canucks calendar from Gram he has been counting down the days and hours until tonight's game.

Here is how he is "watching" the game.





Top Bridge

.. of course we weren't surprised when deep in the woods discussing the stellar mountain bike trails we might one day brave .. that a biker would come along and say, "hey did you like you fish?" ... there was Matt the fisher boy, riding hard through the trails .. discussing with us what we found inside the trout he gave us a few weeks back ...

And here is what we got up to after parting ways ..
