I had my folks over to celebrate my Mom’s birthday and when they were greeted at the door by their grand-kids, Colin and Adrian, they immediately remarked, “They’ve grown so much!” Weight and grey hair was saved for me. Observations about your children’s growth are the most commonly heard phrases by parents when [...] I’ve been bummed out for the past few days because my annual ski trip to Fiddler Lake Resort was cancelled by the resort. Fiddler Lake Resort is my favourite ‘local’ winter destination for ski trips.
