Fall & winter

Geocaching in the fall. We found our first prize in the cemetery. Then we headed to cobalt for an awesome exploration around old mine shafts etc. We haven't been out since, but I hope we will sometime soon! I'd love to try it on snowshoes. Geocaching I mean.



I'm not sure who designed this costume, but little Cadence turned into a rather abdominally muscular dark version of batman this past halloween. He was therefore the opposite of the bright colours recommended for safe trick or treating...so I made sure to stay close in my gigantic cow costume.


A first iteration of house-as-pumpkin. I expect it might grow more elaborate over the years.


This year it was a healthy snack--carrots for the reindeer, I think...I can't remember what Santa got.


Christmas was really nice this year, although we really did miss being with family. After a spontaneous brunch with the neighbours, we went out to a friend's on the lake for some curling, hockey, and skating on the lake then a quiet dinner. It was all really wonderful to be outside on such a special day.



After New Year's, we travelled to TO for a visit. Drew & Cadence went with Auntie Mer to a vegetarian restaurant, where they had fun making special effect pics. I decided not to post them...out of respect for the subjects.


Our family.
