We just finished our Family Day weekend here in Alberta. It kicked off with some fantastic weather, which we certainly took some advantage of.
The rest of the weekend was a bit colder, so we spend most of it indoors: play, shop, eat, sleep, play, shop, eat, sleep. Repeat. Pretty relaxing! We also went and seen ‘Life of Pi’ in theatres yesterday. It was a great movie, very beautifully captured.
How was your weekend?

@ParentClub says
02/19/2013 at 10:04 amUm…picture #1 winter jackets…picture #2 no winter jacket. Swinging must have worked up a sweat!
Tammi says
02/19/2013 at 10:22 amHa! The twins wanted them on, but were sweating!
Wish it was like that again today! Brrrr
Randa @ The Bewitchin' Kitchen says
02/19/2013 at 10:28 amLooks like you guys had a great Family Day! We headed in to Red Deer to specifically go to Costco – it was closed. I died a little inside.
Tammi says
02/19/2013 at 1:44 pmOh no! Did you find something else to do in the city instead?
Which reminds me, I need a Costco trip soon!
Theresa says
02/19/2013 at 10:38 amSounds like the perfect family day! I want to see Life of Pi too. Looks very good!
Tammi says
02/19/2013 at 1:44 pmIt was great Theresa, a beautifully made movie!!

Diana @ Toronto Teacher Mom says

Tammi says
02/19/2013 at 1:47 pmSounds like a jam-packed weekend Sue!
I’m way better at taking photos in the Summer, I get so bored of the same coat and hats and snow in every photo! lol
Was just talking about this with hubby today, ‘I can’t wait for Summer JUST for more photo opportunities!!”
Paula J says
02/19/2013 at 11:16 amI can’t wait to go outside without a jacket!
Happy WW 🙂
Tammi says
02/19/2013 at 1:47 pmIt was short lived – back to bundling up from head to toe … *sigh*

02/19/2013 at 12:33 pmThe kids look wonderful! Wish we could have a bit of snow.
Meryl says
02/19/2013 at 1:32 pmGreat photos! Looks like they’re having a blast in the snow!
Mommy Outside says
02/19/2013 at 1:39 pmWow, it was on the milder side here for parts of the weekend but not “take your jacket off” mild!
I always loved tire swings when I was a kid 🙂
Robin says
02/19/2013 at 1:57 pmBeautiful pics there… I’d never heard of “Family Day” as a holiday – a good excuse for a relaxed weekend it seems…
Kristi says
02/19/2013 at 1:58 pmIt must have been pretty warm! You daughter has no jacket! lol Did you guys get hit with the blizzard NEMO?
Tammi says
02/20/2013 at 7:49 amNo, way too far West for that. This time, that is.
Instead we get -40 degree weather sometimes. Ouch!
Monica says
02/19/2013 at 2:05 pmHappy belated Family Day…looks like you had some great fun! {We don’t get a Family Day in NB, but Mother Nature decided we should have one and closed everything down!}
Tammi says
02/20/2013 at 7:50 amMother Nature decided you get family day too! Hope you were able to stay in inside and keep warm!
Trisha G. says
02/19/2013 at 2:26 pmGlad to see that you had a great weekend with your family! I haven’t seen a tire swing like that in years! They must have had a blast!
Karly @ Three in Three says
02/19/2013 at 2:27 pmOh wow, you got to take off your jackets for a bit?? WOO!
Judy Haughton-James says
02/19/2013 at 2:35 pmBeautiful pictures Tammi! They certainly had fun. Thanks for hosting and Happy WW!
Amelia says
02/19/2013 at 2:49 pmlooks like a fun time, I miss snow!
Alissa Apel says
02/19/2013 at 3:12 pmIt looks pretty! It’s been back and forth weather here. It was 45 degrees on Sunday. It’s supposed to blizzard tomorrow.
Does Belle always wear glasses? She looks so nice in them. My 7 year old would be jealous. He wants glasses, so he can look like Clark Kent.
Tammi says
02/20/2013 at 7:52 amYes, she’s had glasses since November, for near sightedness. Yet, now that she’s dependant on them, her eyesight is worse. Boo! When she takes them off now, she looks so young!
Your son could get fashion glasses, funny how kids these days think they are so great. Wait, does saying something like that age me?!
Ai Sakura says
02/19/2013 at 3:29 pmsounds like a great weekend. we went for a family run!
Dominique Goh says
02/19/2013 at 4:09 pmGreat that the kids got out in the park. It was raining over here during the weekend so we had indoor activities.
Dagmar ~Dagmar's Home says
02/19/2013 at 4:19 pmRelaxing with the kids is fun! We took a road trip that was great!
Tammi says
02/20/2013 at 7:53 amNice! We take more road trips in the Summertime, can’t wait!
Tania Smith says
02/19/2013 at 4:26 pmSounds nice and relaxing!

BusyWorkingMama says
02/19/2013 at 5:08 pmGreat photos! We had a lovely weekend – relaxing at home, cooking up a storm, a bit of shopping. Now back to the grind!
Tammi says
02/20/2013 at 7:54 amI did that too, even tried a couple new recipes. Shopped too. Though nothing fun, for me that is. I love weekends!!
Mom2Michael says
02/19/2013 at 6:56 pmWinter fun! We were in Ottawa for Winterlude. Froze our butts off, but it was a great time
Tammi says
02/20/2013 at 7:54 amWe’re back to freezing our butts off too, very short lived. A teaser. Mother nature is so cruel!!

Niña @ Babbling Little Booties says
02/19/2013 at 9:06 pmThe kids are so cute. I love it.
My last wordless Wednesday wasn’t that great.
Now my Wednesday is better because I got a good news from someone via email.

Thanks for linking up today at Long Wait For Isabella. I appreciate your visit!
Art of RetroCollage says

Tarah says
02/20/2013 at 5:35 amWe had a quiet weekend, I ran some errands, we hung out as a family & played together.
Lauren says
02/20/2013 at 6:07 amIt was bitter cold here for Family day (we’re in Ontario, sort of close to Toronto… sort of.) I worked for the morning (double time and a half is too good to pass up) and then we did some cleaning, which sounds boring but always ends up being a fun family activity with us. We put on some music and sing and dance while we’re cleaning. And then we played a board game, watched some youtube videos together, and sat down to a nice family dinner (which I cooked in the crock pot so it would’t interfere much with family day). With our crazy schedules, we tend to all eat at different times whenever we get hungry, and we usually eat in front of the tv, so it was nice to sit down together.
Tammi says
02/20/2013 at 1:25 pmSounds like the perfect weekend! Even the work part, who doesn’t love a little double time and a half!
Hope your week was just as great!
Shash says
02/20/2013 at 6:35 amBeing able to take your coat off in the snow is a mild day indeed. We enjoyed Family Day by going north where it’s colder and they have more snow! 🙂
Andrea says
02/20/2013 at 7:11 ambeautiful pictures! 🙂

laura Moschitto says
02/20/2013 at 10:37 amNo matter how cold or snowy, its always great to get outside & enjoy it!
Jennifer @ Mom Spotted says

Doris Calvert says
02/20/2013 at 10:01 pmA perfect Alberta weekend, we did much of the same!
Lee Pearson says
02/21/2013 at 4:01 amWe had a really good Family Day just spending time together. Its really nice when we all have the day off to enjoy. We really did nothing special except have a relaxing day.
Donna Engborg says
02/21/2013 at 2:56 pmI had a fantastic weekend considering why we did what we did. A few weeks ago we heard a very good friend passed away – only 45. How sad and leaving behind him, his 3 triplets – 6 year old little boys. It was a time to gather. All the group made arrangements, flew in from Oregon, drove up from Virginia, drove down from Vermont. We all met in Boston. We were the ones driving up from Virginia. 10 hours, but GrandPaul was only 2 more hours… so we continued on. This is where my boys spent all their time as we spend a day in Boston. Then we joined them for a day before heading back to Virginia. It was a whirlwind! But it was so worth it. The boys got to play and sled in the snow. Plus it snowed more while we were there! We usually only visit in the Summer. So this was a treat for all involved. I have to think that there was a message in the passing of our friend… don’t wait. Visit more often. I think there will be more Winter visits to Maine from now on.
Chandra Christine O'Connor says
02/22/2013 at 5:43 amwe spent our family day purging more things that are not of use to us, so we dont bring them to the new house. one week today and we will be in our new house, (without furniture) lol until the 4th. so excited and stressed at the same time.
Teresa M. says
02/23/2013 at 1:23 amI can’t believe how fast the girls have grown in the last year. I love these pictures of the girls. Pleased that you enjoyed ‘Family Day’.
Kat says
02/23/2013 at 9:33 amThat sounds like a really great weekend – eat, shop, play…. repeat. That’s my kind of weekend 🙂
Wayne says
02/23/2013 at 12:27 pmThat looks like a great way to spend a family day weekend. Thanks for linking up with me this week.
Lana Thompson says
02/24/2013 at 1:09 pmI miss Family Day! But, in it’s place, we have Rendezvous up here. It’s like a three day long family-friendly party, and the Friday is actually a provincial holiday. It’s pretty sweet 🙂
Andrea says
02/24/2013 at 8:51 pmOur snow is melting now–can’t decide if that’s a good or a bad thing. Love those fun photos.
Victoria Ess says
02/25/2013 at 7:43 amThanks for sharing your pictures! You have beautiful kids.
