It's been a while since I have posted. When we have not been embracing winter, we have been hibernating. This winter has been one of the longest and coldest in many, many years. We did manage to get out and try some interesting winter sports...some for the first time. I taught Maya how to skate and she picked it up very quickly. We also went snow tubing for the first time and couldn't believe how fast those tubes whipped down the hill!
The kids both continued with their skiing lessons. Aidan is now quite a good skier and Maya has great control for her age. In February, we took a short skiing trip to Holiday Valley in Ellicottville New York, which was a very nice resort. We also just returned from a ski trip to Mont Sainte Anne outside Quebec City. There was a crazy amount of snow there, even at the end of March. We enjoyed the skiing and the beautiful views during the day. Maya was always keen to go hot tubbing at night!
Besides skiing we took a fun tour of the Ice Hotel (which will be the subject of the next post) and went dog sledding for the first time. We even got to drive the sleds! Here are a few photos from our winter adventures.....
