Our March Break...Working and Healing our Muscles!

March came into Alberta like a lion.  There was lots of snow and cold.

After a number of days of snow and temperatures of in the - 30's, nice weather arrived just when Ron had a few extra days off. 
We headed to Radium, B.C. and waited for our boy to arrive.  While we waited, we spent some time in the hot springs.

The next day, we all headed to Nipika to go cross country skiing.  The boys went on the north side where the views were better but along with the views were hills.  I was still recovering from a fall that affected my shoulder so I chose the gentle, south side.  After awhile, they came looking for me to make sure that I hadn't fallen again.

After we finished skiing, Ron and I walked to the hot springs from our chalet.

Ron had signed us up for our first therapeutic massages.  It was 45 minutes of good pain.



After a relaxing soak in the hot springs, we got back to the chalet and enjoyed a roast beef dinner in our room.  
The next morning, we went to Invermere to ski and skate on the White Way.

There were no hills here.  All the skiing was on the lake.

It was a beautiful day.  That night one of our DL (Deschambault Lake) boys came to visit.  It was so nice to have Dan and Tiffany check into another hotel in Radium and come in the evening to catch up.
The next morning, we went for walk....me and my boys.

We enjoyed seeing the wild life in the town.

We had such a great few days with our boy and Tanker.  We got lots of exercise and soaking times.  After hugging my boy goodbye, we headed towards home with Dan and Tiffany following us down the road.  We stopped at Fort Steele for a walk around.

We stopped for lunch in Fernie, checked out Franks Slide and then arrived in Pincher Creek.  What a treat to have Dan and Tiffany visit us at our home.  The Catan and Ticket to Ride boards came out.  We also played a couple of games of darts and when Tiffany and I called it a night, the guys played pool.
After a quiche and cinnamon bun breakfast, we explored Waterton.

They left Sunday afternoon.  Ron and I both started back to work on Monday morning.  Today, we went to physio.  When you play hard, you need to go to physio when you are our age.

 Even Tanker needs pampering when he runs hard.

"Our" March Break was a wonderful winter mini-vacation.  We got to spend time with our boy, exercise and relax a lot. 

Now the question....since March came in like a lion will it go out as a lamb?  The forecast looks that way.
