Ottawa Weekend

For the Family Day long weekend, RC, Mom, Dad and I went to Ottawa to visit aunt\uncle\cousins Anne, Keith, Emma, and Jeremy. We saw the Museum of Civilisations and the Diefenbunker. The Diefenbunker was the bunker where the Prime minister would have hidden if there had been a nuclear attack during the Cold War. In the end, it was never used and has now been converted into a museum. Here is RC standing in front of a «fat man» nuclear bomb.

Snow Day

Snow days are a rare but wonderful thing. They occur when a there is a too heavy snowfall to keep the schools open, which is only once or twice a year, at most. Snow days allow us to do anything we want on a day where we would usually be trapped inside an overheated school, so everyone celebrates! We went toboganning in Christie Pitts and were truly rebellious by eating ice cream in a snowstorm! I am still waiting for my fingers to thaw completly.

Titan's Cup

Last weekend, the Golden Jets went to Ottawa for the Titan's Cup tournament. This tournament was open to girls and boys under 14 years old, so most of the girls couldn't come. We didn't do so bad, and we won 2 out out of 5 games. In the end, we ranked 6th of 8! Between games, we had snowball fights and went skating on the Rideau Canal. Mom, dad, Renée, Arthur (our goalie) and I skated 12 km in all and stopped for Beaver Tails halfway (yum!). We met up with other team membres Freddi, William, and Cameron and played tag on the ice. Poor Cam had lots of trouble staying on his feet, especially with Freddi and me «helping» him! All in all, lots of good times and I can't wait for our next tournament!
