Went for a drive through the Pembina Valley today ...
struck out on our hopes of hiking in the park there since
it was still snowed in, but we did have some success at birding! :)
Can't do these birds justice with my little lens, but
we did manage to observe lots of raptors soaring through the valley!

It took 5 rags, a toothbrush, paperclip, detergent water,
and vineager water spray bottle to get a couple of windows cleaned up.
Trying to play some games every day :)

The sun and lack of wind
finally allowed some outdoor time! 
My biking buddies :)

Had to dig my bike out of here
before I could go riding this afternoon 

Just had to soak a few more
rays in before supper

Tried to get as many people into my 'photo booth'as possible for
 Conrad's birthday, but ran out of time, light and enthusiasm :)

Visited the Seven Sisters
Power Dam 


Canoes ready to go
in  Pinawa at the waterfront

Went for a really great
hike through the bush near our cabin

A lone ice fisherman at sunset

We followed some pretty big
'cat' tracks through the bush

A really, really close game of crib!

Lots of open water just around
the bend from our cabin on the lake 

Some wonderful down time!

While shooting some sunset and starscape shots from out on our deck,
we listened to the lake just groan and crack!  Awesome!

We noticed a few eagles
in a row of poplars along the highway
as we headed down the 59 this afternoon.
Stayed sitting for me to try to get a photo ...
just a little too far away to do a good job!
I need/want that lens that I tested out a few weeks ago! 

Home for the next few days  :)

Lego is Ben's go-to fairly
consistently these days

On an owl hunt ... without success

Pretty sure that a pellet gun
did not do this ...

Zoe has definitely hit
a bit of a clown stage :)

Just about unrecognizable by now

Conrad's second puzzle of the winter
is making much better progress :)
