Learning multiplication tables is tough and writing the answers as fast as you need to during a timed test is even harder. A good friend introduced us to the free version of Timez Attack and all of a sudden it was fun to practice multiplication. We recently purchased Timez Attack online so we could have access to different playing scenarios, especially the lava. I have found no other lasting way to encourage the kids to practice their multiplication and help them retain it afterwards. Hooray for people who share their talents to make learning fun for kids!

Witch's Hair Lichens (Innuit people had many uses for it--including baby diapers!)
Awww :) We had an awesome gondola ride to get to the top of Whistler for the special dinner put on by the software company Kyle was in training with. Rachael got called up on stage during the comedy act.
On top of Whistler Mtn, the Inukshuk is behind us (a sort of cairn from ancient Innuit people and a symbol for upcoming Olympics)
