winterlude

This past Saturday we played in the snow at Winterlude {Canada's Winter Celebration}, with Jill & her family, on opening day. We checked out the activities at Jacques-Cartier Park in Gatineau... We went sliding on the larger-than-life snow slides...

wound our way through a huge snow maze, visited Scooby Doo in the Teletoon area {R is a huge fan of Scooby Doo lately, when the Scooby Doo mysteries are on TV he is glued to the screen!}...

admired all the snow sculptures...

and did some tubing.

Of course, it would not be an authentic Ottawa experience without indulging in another famous tradition, the BeaverTail...


and then we headed home to warm up! We had planned on seeing the ice sculptures and doing some skating on the Canal the next day, but the warm weather and melting snow put some of the Winterlude activities on hold, I think.
I don't think Miss S minds that we decided to stay out of the snow the next day, she'd had enough of the white stuff by the time we left the park...

Happy Winter!
