Thanksgiving...

It was Thanksgiving weekend recently and, once again, I felt so grateful to have so many thingss to be thankful for...

We had the opportunity to have Vincent's family over at our cottage. As usual, it was a marathon meal...We started eating at about 1:00 and got up from the table at about 7:00...

It was nice for everyone to be able to see our new place and for us to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. I got a chance to take Yuko for her first canoe trip ever! It was very windy and the canoe was loaded down with 4 people but we made it back...We also got a chance to play a little pétanque in our yard...

Yuko also got a chance to share some wonderful news with us. She is pregnant and I am happy that our little boy will have a cousin who will be very close in age! We are happy for them both!

The next day, we met up with them at the Tremblant village where they were staying and the whole family, minus Odette, decided to take a luge ride down the mountain. Mathieu was also very happy to go rock climbing and, as you can see from the pictures, managed to get quite high.

We also had a chance to go up to the top of the mountain again and the boys and I did a little hike to the look out point. It was a beautiful, sunny day and the views were amazing.

We are definately enjoying our cottage and all the outdoor sports it has to offer. I always find it a little hard to go back to the city on Sunday night...At the same time, I enjoy the contrast of city life and everything it has to offer. The best of both worlds!!!
