Cairns Family Adventures : Ice In The Water

It is finally starting to feel like spring outside, the snow is melting again and it is NOT forecasted to snow this weekend. We have had about a foot of new snow every weekend for the past 5 weekends. The kids are loving the warmer weather and all the puddles and mud that come with it. This week spring staff training began where the brave souls spent a day on the river on a cool 5 degree day. They started that day by having to literally “break the ice” the launch site had about 8mm of ice coating the water. They spent most of the day paddling and some rescue techniques at the very end of the day. The bus wouldn’t start when they wanted to come home so Troy went to meet them with booster cables to get the bus going. When Joelle asked where dad was I told her what he was doing and she would say “Oh daddy is rescuing them so they need him” I am so glad she is so understands sometimes.
