The final week-end of

WINTERLUDE 2009

.

It was the final week-end for winterlude and on Saturday they held a competition for armature ice-carvers. Patty-Lou (my wife) participated in the competition as she has been doing for the past 3 years. It was a beautiful sunny day, there was a tonne of activities, there were First Nation Dancers, a celebration of the 100th Anniversary of the first powered flight in Canada, beavertails (of course), and the best part is Patty-Lou won 2nd place in the ice carving competition. Thanks to all family members and friends who showed up for the competition.

Happy Valentine's Day

Winterlude 2009

Wishing everyone the best on Valentine's Day. We had a great time on the canal for a beavertail, hot chocolate and the Sound and Light Show: Ukiuk at the American Express Snowbowl hosted by the NCC. We ended our evening with a live concert by Roch Voisine, who sang a lot of his old songs and brought back a lot of good memories. It was fun, we had an awesome time.
