snow...laundry baskets...beavertails

This past weekend we decided to brave the cold and snowy weather and headed to the world famous Rideau Canal Skateway. We are so lucky to have the world's largest skating rink (7.8 kilometres long) in our own backyard! We bundled up Little Miss L. and met up with my brother- and sister-in-law and their handsome little man. Little Miss L. loved watching everyone zip past on their skates, I can't wait until I am able to strap on her very own pair. No trip to the canal would be complete without stopping for one of those delicious pastries formed like a beaver's tail with lots of sugar and cinnamon on top - they are just so good! All and all, we had a fabulous time, and can't wait to head back again soon.

We forgot our toboggan at Nona and Pops house, so we had to improvise with the laundry basket.

I will catch a snowflake if it takes me all day!

30 seconds into our car ride home, let's just say someone was tired!

a warm winter's day

This past week has hardly been winter weather. The family decided to take full advantage to get out in the warm sun. We all know in Canada the weather can change in a matter of minutes. Our closest opportunity was the local parks and a walk along the beautiful Rideau canal.

Great day to play on the swing

Ready to go exploring
