Canmore - Sunday

Sunday morning at Canmore. It snowed overnight.



Off Cayde and I went on a snowshoe expedition with the teachers.
Hi ho, hi ho, it's through the snow we go.



A quick stop for lunch.



Ed takes off his snowshoes and jumps into the snow beside the track to show us just how deep it is.



Cayde ponders what would happen if he dived into the hole head first.

Teachers snacking.



Peter and Margaret making siamese snow angels.



Hey look, we made it to the top! (No, really we did. There is no way that this is a photo near the bottom of the path, and that we were just claiming to be at the top because no one else saw just how far up the track we got...)



The magnificent view.



You know how in the cartoons a snowball rolling down a hill soon grows into a massive snow boulder the size of a house, smashing everything in its way? That's how it actually works in real life. The next picture is of a little snowball that must have created by a gust of wind or something - it just rolled down the snow bank, growing as it rolled and leaving a trail of the snow it had picked up on its way.



Back down to civilisation.
