A Playful Season

The weekend. Sunshine. Mild weather. Snow on the ground. What to do on a Saturday morning when you wake up at the crack of dawn (not by choice)? A day full of possibilities!

The secret to do activities with kids is simple: get there early and leave after one hour.

February is Winterlude month in Ottawa. The top three sites are: Snowflake Kingdom in Jacques Cartier Park, Ice Scuptures at Confederation Park, and the Rideau Canal.

This morning, we went to admire the Ice Sculptures:



Two weekends ago, we visited The Snowflake Kingdom with Jason and Noa. It was a cold and brisk Saturday morning. Since we arrived when the gates opened (9am), we didn't wait in line to go down the ice slides.




And skating on the Rideau Canal on Valentine's Day:



The best part of winter is enjoying the sunshine and the snow.
