Family Day Weekend

It was a marathon weekend of snow-packed fun. We first set off for Torie's Farm where we snowshoed among the maples, slid down some slopes, and attended this year's ceremonial 'first tapping' of the maples. The next day we journeyed further to Torie's Cottage where we found ourselves, and our car, surrounded by deep and unexplored snow. It was a sanctuary for friends to enjoy time together as family ... and the Olympics on the big screen!

It was a snow party!

Keva and Tavish were invited to join...

MOMENTS: Snow Lovers

When winter gives you snow...

Build a snow home to play in!

Then smile...

There was playing... Tavish and Jasper played ... Torie, Carol, Jode, Tom and Kath played ... Keva played. There was snow, fun, a fireplace, and the Olympics. Another memorable weekend full of more moments than could be captured by my poor phone. Thanks for having us, Torie!



* Tavish became part-local celebrity when he confidently joined in to hang the ceremonial bucket from the first tapping at Torie's farm. Here's the article from the local paper:
