Christmas is Coming!!

Hey All

So Christmas is coming soon!!! Us here at Kaleo have been up to lots of fun with the Ladysmith Light up and Skating. On Thursday evening the whole group pretty much went out to the streets of Ladysmith to watch the town turn on all of their Christmas lights and the big intro the the Christmas season Parade and Fireworks. We got their a little later than anticipated andman was the traffic crazy! We ended up going a round about way and found ourselves a nice parking spot up on the hill fairly close to the celebrations. The crouds were massive when we got to the main street where the parade and all the events where happening. Me being small couldn't see too well over the croud, but managed to find a planter box and stood on it to look over everyone. The parade was ok but the fun was in all of us yelling and cheering on the people in the parade. All of us took loads of pictures as well. After the parade ened we all moved on down the road to the traffic circle and watched the big tree light up and the firewords display they had. It was small but really cool how they can bring a whole community together for something like this. While we watched the fireworks and whatnot, me and Ryan decided it would be fun to just randomly run like maniacs through the gaps in the crowd. Oh man that was a lot of fun.
After the festivals were over I found some good friends and ended up hanging out with them and going for coffee and snacks till late that night. I was a great night of just catching up with people and joking around. The night was a blast ending at about 1 am for me.

The next day I organized a get together for us to go skating. So Josh, Kristi, Alivia, Malayne, Jesse and Me went to the Fuller Lake areana in Chemanus. It was soo good to get back on the ice again. Me being a skater from the age of 5 - 16 and then making a career of teaching since then till now have a love for the ice. It had been a way too long 6 months since I had been on the ice and was so good to get my feet back into those boots. I felt right at home on the ice serface. I love the Christmas season, It brings so much Joy to me!

God Bless
