Here we go again, the dragon boat season has started and we are training twice a week. The festival is at the end of August and the team is much bigger (so far) that last year!!! It is so nice to be on the river again (except that it can be quite stinky!!). I will post some videos soon. Last weekend, we got third out 12 teams for the sprint races... Pretty good for a boat half full of newbies :)

Et voila, le dragon boat est de retour et on a recommence les entrainements 2 fois par semaine. Le festival est fin Aout et l'equipe est plus grande cette annee!!! C'est super de refaire du bateau meme si le fleuve pue de temps en temps!!. je mettrai des videos dans pas longtemps. Le weekend dernier, notre equipe est arrivee 3eme sur 12 sur les sprints... Pas mal sachant que la moitie des gens sont nouveau sur le bateau :)

Yay... Both my sister in law and my sister gave birth the same day.. May 7th! Okay, I'm a little late posting it... but common, better late than never :)
So I am now the proud godmother to a little Oscar and auntie to a little Albane! Isn't that cool????

Super... Ma belle soeur et ma soeur ont accouche le meme jour... le 7 Mai! Bon, je suis un peu en retard j'avoue... mais bon,  mieux vaut tard que jamais :) Je suis donc marraine d'un petit Oscar et tata d'une petite Albane! C'est pas cool ca????

From what I can see, it is more funnel clouds that a huge tornado... but still! Nothing for now, but clouds are moving pretty fast! I'll keep you posted if anything happens...

D'apres ce que j'ai compris, c'est plus des minis tornades... mais bon! Pour l'instant rien mais les nuages bougent bien vite! Je vous tiens au courant si quoique ce soit arrive...

There was a mini tornado in Red Deer, 1h30 south of Edmonton on Saturday night. Apparently we missed it by an hour on our way back from the mountains!

Il y a eu une mini tornade a Red Deer, environ 1h30 au sud d'Edmonton, Samedi soir. Apparemment on l'a loupe d'environ une heure en revenant des montagnes!

Back from a long relaxing weekend in Kananaskis! That was awesome as usual! Really enjoyed it :) Jeff and I spent the weekend at Jon's parents cabin with some friends. The weather was just on the chilly side but very manageable, I still manage to get a little tan! The guys tried their hands at fishing... and the experience was not successful at all!!! But we were not waiting for them to feed us and we had lots of food prepared! I cooked a rabbit in cider, for most of the friends, it was the first time they were trying... and no one complained :) and then we had some "flip sticks" (filipino barbecue pork skewers) as Kris likes to call them and then we had some prime ribs on the BBQ... that was perfect!!! I am  not even counting the amount of burgers and hot dogs that were consumed :) We had tons of smores... we did some experiments... first of all, I made some marshmallows and I had no idea how they would hold up to the fire... and it was great!!! Then, we tried different combinations with different chocolate bars and that was just delicious!!! Too bad weekends go way too fast! Check out the pictures.

Nous voila de retour d'un weekend relax  a la montagne (Kananaskis)! C'etait super, comme d'habitude :) Jeff et moi avons passe le weekend dans le chalet des parents de Jon avec les copains. Il faisait un peu frisquet mais bon, il faisait bon quand meme, j'ai reussi a bronzer! Les gars sont aller pecher... mais bon, on peut pas dire que ca a marche!!! On ne les a pas attendu pour manger, on avait plein de bouffe! J'ai fait un lapin au cidre, c'etait la premiere fois que les copains essayaient... et tout le monde s'est regale :) et puis on a eu des brochettes des Philippines (porc a la sauce au barbeuc) et puis des cotes a l'os... parfait!!! Je ne parle meme pas du nombre de burgers et hot dogs qu'on a mange :) et puis on a fait plein de smore's... on a experimente... d'abord parce que j'avais fait des shamallows et que j'avais aucune idee de comment ils allaient reagir a la flamme... et puis apres on a essaye avec plein de chocolats differents... c'etait delicieux!!! Dommage que les weekends passent trop vite! Allez voir l'album photo.

Just to tease you! Nom nom nom!

Just histoire de donner envie! Miam miam!
