Ice On Whyte
This was a fun filled day. It started out with moving some more snow. In the last ten days we have had 3 feet of snow fall. This is the most amount of snow that we have had since moving to this wonderful province. LOL The boys are loving it, I am done with it but that is ok. This is one of the large piles of snow that we have in front of our house. It has gotten bigger since this picture. Just so that you know Jamie is 6 feet tall and the pile is about 2 feet taller than him. The boys call it their mountain. :)
We decided that even though it was -23 outside that we would go to the Ice on Whyte display in Edmonton. It is a presentation of ice sculptures and ice slides. We went a few years ago and it was good but this time it seemed like that much more fun. Because it was so cold out there weren't that many people there so we got to enjoy the giant ice slide a lot. This is the boys getting ready to go down for the first time.

This was so much fun. You could hear Rylan laughing all the way down.
Keagan had to keep his balance. This slide was so fast.
I lost count as to how many times Jamie and Stefan went down the slide. Stefan was so cute because he would go down with his eyes closed.
You can tell how fast he was going because his toque was flying in the breeze. LOL

This was at the end of a maze of ice. The tunnel under the house was so cute.
I was really nervous about going down the big slide so the smaller slides were right up my alley. LOL
The boys are real die hards and didn't want to stop having fun. But we had to take a break inside the warming tent so that I could feel my big toes again. LOL That and Rylan and Stefan were getting some frost bite on their cheeks. Jamie is warming up Stefans cheeks.

This is our crazy family enjoying the winter wonderland in Alberta. I finally broke down and spent the money on a winter parka and I can honestly say that it made a huge difference. I was actually able to enjoy being outside with the boys. The only reason why my feet were cold was because I was just standing watching the boys go down the slide. It was a great way to spend the day. We enjoyed almost 2 hours being outside and playing. Great way to spend a Sat. afternoon. I am slowly coming around to living in Alberta. :)
