Wednesday March 12

Today was beautiful and sunny so we biked everywhere today. Tobin and I had to go to the doctor's for prescription refills and we got our chests listened to in terms of coughs/ asthma. Tobin was a little wheezy and my lungs were great. I got advice to use the Neti pot so that I clear my sinuses and don't end up coughing from irritation of that. Tobin got advair. So we biked to the doctor on Edgar and on the way passed Tobin's preschool friend's house. There was a ton of movie equipment trucks and people on their street  and it was blocked to cars. They are filming Gracepoint at their house for 3 days and have sent the family off to a hotel to stay. Kinda cool. I didn't get any pictures though. 

Then we biked all on our own bikes, but not Jeff because he was at work, downtown to Wendy's work which is on the 8th floor of a building right next to where there is a big crane and construction going on. Then we walked over to Chinatown to the honey bun place and the bubble tea place for lunch. And then to the library after. So that was lots of biking for someone not used to it in recent weeks because of our never ending colds and coughs. 

The second day of skiing at Mt Washington Esther's group went and did downhill and we headed to the Raven Lodge for snowshoeing in the morning and skiing in the afternoon. Sam and Lili and their dad were there to meet us and the came back to the chalet to sleep that night in the place of the Callo group. We ended up playing quite a few sequential games of Bananagrams before bed. It was fun.  We had four or five people at a time playing. That was Monday. 

Tuesday we basically just cleaned the place in the morning and then left at 12 to drive home. I think Imogen and I left it cleaner than we found it. Isobel and Julias were really tired and done with being up there. I think tired of noise and people too. The other kids went out to toboggan while we cleaned. Isobel pared the van practically by herself. Then Imogen drove us all home. And Tobin and I biked down to the library, him on his little bike, after we got home, the weather was so nice. He is reading primary chapter books and found some he really likes. Boy vs Beast.
