We took our annual family ski trip this past weekend. This year we decided to go to Canada. It seemed like a great idea back in the fall and it was beautiful, but...cold! Brrrrrrr! The Kids were excited to cross the border. They have each been to Germany to visti Oma and Opa, but for some reason, this was so different for them. We stayed at a beautiful hotel near the village of Mont Tremblant. One of the best features was the delicious breakfast each morning that was part of the cost of the hotel.
The day we arrived was a beautiful warm day (about 40 degrees) We visited the village and walked around a bit. We didn't do too much because we wanted to get back to the hotel to check in and the kids desperately wanted to go to the pool. Little did we know that the day we set aside for walking around the town would be so bitterly cold we wouldn't last very long. The kids enjoyed the maple taffy pops you could buy outside. Someone would pour a strip of hot maple syrup into a pan of snow and place a stick on the end. As the syrup cooled you would roll the syrup up to eat it. 
The village of Mont Tremblant was very cute. There were fire pits around and lovely decorations. The gondela in the middle photo was a walk on that would take you from the bottom up to the top of the village where the ski area started. There were tons of slopes. There is a north side and a south side and areas we never even made it to. The views at the top are beautiful. I usually get some pictures of the kids skiing but it really was so cold
I hardly wanted to take my hands out of my gloves.
Now the kids have a few days off but I am back to work sewing.
Happy Day! K
