Fete de Neige or something like that

It means snow festival and thats what we went to last weekend.  No it was the weekend after we lost the kid on the metro.
 
Thursday night John got home early enough for us to head up to our local park to see our first ice hockey game.  In winter they build an outdoor ice rink in Prince Albert Park.  Pretty cool, in another park a few streets away they make a tobogganing hill, we haven't done that as it has been a bit dangerous due to the lack of snow.

The game was one between two local kids teams.  Gosh they are good but it is a bit freaky to be told to stand back and watch for flying pucks....what the puck????

It was super cold, but the council had thought of that and had built a bonfire and provided free hot chocolate and cookies.

Saturday was the main day and we were up early and after breaky headed down to Westmount Park.  This place is full of parks! 

First on the agenda was to see the ice skating demo, we knew Bella would be keen on that.  However we needed to get through the park to get to the Arena.  Now do you know how hard it is to get threee little kids through a snow covered park that has a million, kazillion squirrels in it? 

Bella learnt that slides with ice on the go really fast, so she did it again and again!
She is the one who will be doing stunts on mini bikes, not her brothers!

Of course Rhys found a train.

Bella and her bloody squirrels. 


Going for a sleigh ride with Dad.

Mum, Hayden and Bella already had a turn.  No pics as the camera was too cold.  I had to warm it up to take these!

So much snow that even Bellas legs drag on the ground!!!



Cute kid!

Thats all three of them taking over the slide!
