Does anyone else feel like this has been the longest winter ever? \u00a0I know my family sure does! The current trending saying at our house is “We’re done with winter!” \u00a0The winter in Canada this year has broken records, but not in a good way. It’s been one of the coldest in my lifetime… even Niagara Falls froze over.<\/p>\n

Luckily, the weather is getting “warmer”. \u00a0It was 2 degrees this past weekend and we wanted to take advantage of the weather and wish winter goodbye. \u00a0A few outdoor rinks are still open, so we went to skate around and play some hockey. While my son plays indoor hockey almost 5 hours every day, it feels more rewarding when he does it on the ice. \u00a0Did I mention that he’s only three years old and he dreams of playing in the NHL? (True Story).<\/p>\n

While I hung out with my one year old son, my husband skated around and practiced hockey with my preschooler. \u00a0Using my HP Slate 8 Pro, which is small enough to hold in one hand, I was able to capture some great videos of them taking advantage of the last few days (hopefully) of winter. \u00a0The HP Slate 8 Pro has an 8MP, auto-focus with LED camera that’s great for capturing our family memories. \u00a0When choosing a tablet or phone, the number one criteria for me is ensuring that it produces good quality pictures and videos reliably. It also has to be lightweight and fit perfectly in my purse for when we’re on the go.<\/p>\n
