Slip Sliding Away

The final weekend of Winterlude has come and gone in Ottawa, but not without Isabelle getting out and putting her own stamp on the festivities. With little brother safe and cozy warm at the house with his Mommy, Isabelle, her Dad and Gran all headed to Jacques Cartier Park and the gigantic snow and ice funland that awaited. Big, bigger and biggest ice slides, all of which Isabelle sampled with glee, plus some high speed tubing, giant snow sculptures and the obligatory hot chocolate pit stop. Like the diving board at the pool, the little daredevil has no fear, zipping down gigantic ice slides at breakneck speed and loving every minute! It was a true test of how many times her Dad and Gran can hear "Again?" and "One more time!" and keep giving in. Finally, with the sun setting and Isabelle's energy depleted, it was time to call Winterlude over for 2009. Next year it will be a total blast, with Isabelle becoming a solo slider and the hoopla around Oliver's first birthday party. Beaver Tails all around!

MOM!!!!!! You do NOT look like Gran! You look like you're 25!!!! Gad, looking younger than your youngest daughter... I think it's time I hit the shops in Florida and buy some more fashionable clothing so I can compete with my mom!
