Beautiful Weekend
We just had a gorgeous weekend. The sun was shining and everything looked beautiful. It was also a full moon and was the biggest and brightest moon of 2010 apparently, and we could believe it, it was massive. Paul, Isla and I got out skiing on Saturday morning, we went to a cross country ski club learn to ski class. We spent a couple of hours skiing around Bear Lake and trying to improve our technique.


Saturday night the Tougas siblings all went out for a meal at the Hotel and Seward, while Grandma and Granddad Tougas kindly stayed home to look after Isla. We had a great night and a delicious meal.
Today we have all been busy. In the morning we all went to church and then Paul spent all afternoon working with a friend to plumb in a sink in his garage for the beer brewing. Isla and went for a walk down to the boat harbor with my friend Erin and her son Noah and had a visit with them at their house. Isla enjoyed giving the ‘baby’ lots of little kisses, very cute. Couldn’t catch her doing it on camera so you will just have to imagine. Then I walked home just in time to have a visit from my friend Jessica. So Isla and I had a nice day socializing.
Here she is with Noah, you will notice a pen in her hand. She spent the visit finding pens and by the time we left she had about five in her hand! 

Isla continues to love/terrorize the cat. She insists on trying to give Evie kisses and has developed a new fixation on Evie’s tail. Naturally as Evie gets annoyed about her tail being grabbed she starts swishing it which only makes it even more enticing to Isla.
This one is very fuzzy but I still thought it was cute!

We hope everyone has a fun week!
Love April, Paul and Isla xxx
big full moon here too and very low tide at riverton,got our mussels without getting my feet wet.Perhaps your skiing would improve if you cut the anchor rope,
What wonderful experiences Isla is getting living with snow. I think the bundle on the end of the anchor rope very cute! School starts this week and I have a first aid course for the day tomorrow. Yeah!!
Yes we noticed the huge moon here too. We are having beautiful days hot and sunny. Nearly as good as Hawaii I am sure. The North Island are having floods. Isla might be skiing before she goes to school.
