Outside!

Off we went outside last weekend on a cold day... but we loved it!  I love fresh, cold air!  I mean, I love summer too... but I certainly love the change of seasons, and love that these seasons are quite thoroughly different from each other!  So, that being said, even though summer is my magical fun time, I love what winter offers!  This was a beautiful day to see winter's offerings!

We went to Fort Whyte for a special day to try different outdoor activities!  Our kids don't have X-Country skis so we thought it would be great for them to try them at this event to see what they think first!  They loved it!

Before we skied, we actually went tobogganing!  I went with the big boy... but was really (secretly) terrified!  I kept it to myself until after!  Yeesh that looked steep!  Fun though!

Then... after skiing we decided to go snowshoeing... but the little one didn't want to (and his Bop had already gone) so the two of them had a special time looking around the centre, at fish and different displays!  He's still talking about it!  They had a little hot chocolate treat by the fire first!  Cute!

So off we went snowshoeing!  The guide took us off the trail a bit so we could try running in an open area!  It was fun!

Relaxing with daddy after!  These boys slept well that night!
