For the past 5yrs now we’ve been gathering at our good friends Barb and Rick’s place challenging the kids to a hockey game on Link’s rink on the lake. The annual ‘Parents vs Kids’ game has become a real highlight of our winter activities. The Parent Team was coming into this year with a perfect 4-0 record, but we quickly found our hands full with a kids squad of 12 and all 6 of us parents trying to defend our title! The kids jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead before we started to claw our way back. In regulation time (first team to score 10), there seemed to be a bit of controversy on how the parents managed to get 10 goals first while the kids had only 8. So with kids dreams almost shattered, we decided on a good ol’ shootout. Well the kids displayed their true ability in whooping our butts 4-0 in the shootout. So a big congrats to Team Kids for finally de-throning “The Champs” after all these years.
We will have our parental revenge! Hmmm, house chores anyone?
Stay Cool…
After shoveling 4′ snow drifts around the FJ.
Driving back to Dryden in a snow storm. Not fun!
It’s that time of year when we just can’t seem to do much in the area of ‘windsports’. Our lakes have frozen over now, but with the loads of snow we’ve been having the past week(s), it’s making for some uncertain ice conditions. I hope we can get our ice shack out on the lake soon as ‘The Shack’ is a great place to warm up when we go out snowkiting.
Hope you’re all getting ready for Christmas!
Stay Cool…
Ha ha, it took her three tries to blow out 4 candles! So, how may boyfriends do you have!??
The horns above her head say it all 
Today is Schwaby’s birthday! You’d never guess her age by looking at her vibrant expression! I’m not going reveal it either becuase at this stage of life, age is just a number, it doesn’t reflect how young we feel. So, Happy 29th Margot! I wish you many more happy days and fun times ahead in our years together!

Here’s a few shots of Strat, his sister Susan, Margot and I sailing at the Dryden Yacht Club this past Sunday. The club’s annual S.O.B.I.R. (Sail our boats in regatta) race was the first race of the day where I think we did pretty good. Maybe even won it!? But we won’t know until the scores are tallied. Second race was a “chicks at the helm” race where Woodette steered the boat, while the rest of us pulled ropes and hoisted sails. I was a little loud at times barking out which way to “pull” or “push” the tiller handle to make the boat go where we needed to. I really need to work on chillin’ a bit when it comes to racing though. All in all, another great weekend!

Hmmm, looks like this pole thingy needs to go on this rope thingy and…
There we go!
