February Saturdays

There are some things that I really love about Saturdays.
I love the feeling that it's a free day, even if it includes baking Zwieback -
because it's relaxing and brings back happy memories.
I love that my H is home and we can, for the most part, sleep in
and have breakfast together.
I love that it's the day before Sunday, my favorite day.

Last Saturday I baked sugar cookies,
which were fun to drop off at a couple of places for Valentines.

The Saturday before that, we headed out to Manning Park again
to do some snowshoeing. 
We've been taking turns with the older grandkids and this time
we took Landon and Koen with us.

It was a perfect day out there.

Once I got my phone out of my pocked and mitts off,
I could hardly stop taking pictures.


Snowshoeing with kids is a totally different experience
and it was fun to see that boys can giggle too. 
Koen grinned every time he drew a face in the snow beside us as we went along.
There were many. 

We had our picnic in the snow ... peanut butter and jam or egg salad sandwiches, hot chocolate, cookies and oranges.


Feeling so thankful for the ability and privilege to have fun with our grands,
whether it's childcare, school pick up or outings. 
Not sure yet what next Saturday holds, 
but sometimes no plans bring about the best days. 
That's a peek into life today.

Your Saturdays look amazing (as do those cookies). Starting to feel the Saturday groove here in the new house too! It might take a few more though till it feels like home?

Yummy looking cookies! Being a desert dweller for more than 40 years, I can't imagine being outdoors in that weather. But it looks like you all were enjoying it!

Wonderful Saturday activities, and such fun with your grands. The cookies look delicious, and those tulips are a gorgeous colour.

Enjoyed this peek into your Saturdays. Those cookies are so pretty. Smart to take a couple grands at a time for adventures so you can get some deeper time with them. Wonderful photos!
