Sat. morning was a lovely crisp winter day. A grandson wanted to play with Opa & Oma. Daddy went along also.
Top picture Mr. T. is King of the Mountain in his front yard while we were waiting for Daddy to get ready to go.
At McIvor park just a few blocks from M. &C.'s house there is this lovely toboggan slide and it wasn't even very busy on such a nice morning.
Second picture - Opa and Mr. T. are at the top ready to go.
Third picture - having fun whizzing down so fast.
Fourth picture Daddy joins Mr. T. & Opa and they go even further. I see this photo got lost.
Next you see Mr. T. running back up to the slide to do it some more and some more - he always let Opa pull the toboggan back up.
In the sixth & seventh pictures Opa and Mr. T. are spinning out on the ice rink and have loads of fun. We spent about one and a half hours in the park and Oma watched and took pictures.
Then we went to a place to eat our brunch - the guys all had breakfast items but oma had soup & a sandwich.
Back at M. & C.'s house there was a lot of work to do on the Quinzee. Mark & Andrew had piled up this large heap of snow in the back yard over several weeks. Some of it had been dug out already but there was much more digging to do so Opa, Mark & Mr. T. went to work on it. Finally it was enough hollowed out that Opa, Oma & Mr. T. got inside to rest. M. took that picture on his camera and i don't have a digital copy of it yet.
Remember to double click the photos as you will then see everything more clearly.

that looks sooo fun!!! : )
So I figured out what a Quinzee is. It looks like you all had a lot of fun, but weren't you cold, Jean, standing around? My hands would have been so cold I wouldn't have been able to take pictures. Thanks for the post. FUN!
Yes, I did get colder than I normally would when taking a walk. I borrowed Mark's big mitts for a while and then later discovered I could get my knit gloves inside my Thinsulate mitts that helped quite a bit. My mitts are old and have been washed often so are getting thinner. New ones the style I like are hard to find.
