Island Ice

This past weekend I was visiting some of the islander's and we got the opportunity to go ice fishing! It was pretty cold, but after we got bundled we had a pretty good time. I have to admit we didn't catch a thing... but you should have seen the size of the fish we saw!
Everyone minus Simon


If you can believe it. This used to be the hut that held a max of 4. Nothing like smashing the record and cramming all 10 of us! Not easy considering more than half is an open hole! trying not to fall in was all part of the experience.


These crabs.. can't remember the name, came in off ships and provide some not so welcomed competition for the ice fishers! This one is no longer a problem..


Eventually we got the key for a second, roomier hut! I got to clean the ice off the top.. with a huge pan. Everyone was so excited about this... it may have taken a little longer than the norm..




After we realized we had no future as ice fisher..girls, we decided to create a new sport. Ice running!

Mont Tremblant

The Laird's rented a condo in Mont Tremblant for a week and invited me along! So I bought some ski's found to driving buddies and made the 11 hour treck over. It was so amazing. Unfortunately I don't have many pictures.

Renous Highway on the way there!


Amongst the shops at the bottom of the hill. We came here every day for lunch at ' Le Shack' soo good


View from the last little strech of the hill.


Le Shack! and a few of the crowd

Small car road trip!

Packed up poor Bet's and drove over to the island for the weekend. We were the lovely welcoming committee for the Seeber's. Welcome back from New Zealand! We're staying at your house. We are that nice. Was a beautiful weekend!

View from the Seeber's living room window :)


Decided to take a stroll around Charlotte Town and see the sights. Unfortunately nothing is open in the winter except for the wonderful Art Gallery (shockingly empty), the mall and the catholic church. But it was a beautiful day for a walk.

A tad nippy for swimming


Where confederation was held... maybe? Some meeting anyways, couldn't get inside to find out: 'open every day'....


Art Gallery:







Steve Sholtz, his brother and sister in law were also there for the weekend!

Jaydee, Jess and the KiKi's

Every Sunday at Grams I have the privilege of hanging out with these little cuties. They all grow way too fast!

Jessie love's her little cousins. She even gave them their nickname Kiki. She doesn't quite understand that they can't quite stand up and follow her when she takes them by the hand. She's full of mischief!! Crazy little kid


Kierstyn makes the BEST faces

Always a battle over what the other one has.
