Andrew is a camera addict! Kveena seems pretty clingy to Dad lately. Better than the silent treatment I guess right!

Ski day with Ryan and Tonya and Family!

We had a great ski day with the Ryan Torrie Family. Shad had to get some pictures for a book he wrote about a snowboarder who got stranded in a tree. He acted out some parts of the story and I got some pictures.

Kaera was a little leary of her dad and the camera but she still likes me. Raeghn and I split the day watching her in the lodge.












This picture doesn't show it well, but Kvinde had a huge red bruise on her leg where the boot had rubbed her raw. Tonya also had some bad booting.
