It snowed!!!

Can you believe it?? We couldn't!! The kids were convinced that God sent it especially for them because they wanted to see snow before we left. I think He did - it just lasted that one day and we happened to be at Geoff and Lisa Gleasons house and they live really far north so there was quite a bit of it!
Cameron was very unimpressed and didn't want to have anything to do with it.
Wayne, Geoff, Lisa and I even managed to have a snow ball fight at 10:30 at night. It was so fun!!



Oh and I made a snow angel!!!! Check it out!!!



We just could not believe how the whole world changed!! It was beautiful. Everything touched white, a whole landscape transformed in the space of a few hours. Canada is so amazing in its change of seasons; the variety in colours and textures with each new season. Each time brings a new kind of beauty. Wow! What a God we serve!

Ottawa




We are so thankful we are able to experience some of the wonderful fall colours. This weekend we travelled down to Ottawa (5 hours from Toronto). The drive was just amazing with all the trees in full colour. The Buists graciously opened their home to us, even inviting us to their thanksgiving dinner. We drove back via the Algonquin park - an amazing provincial (national) park with many many beautiful tree. It was a wonderful weekend - Bryce was just disappointed we didn't see a moose!! Walking through those 'woods' as they call them here just made us go 'wow!!' at God's creation. The variation and vibrancy in colour just wowed us. Then on the way home we saw more colour - a beautiful sunset in all its splendor. What a God we serve!!!!

Canada!!!


I am guessing that this will all be a bit easier in Canada so I thought I would give it a go. Here are some pictures from our trip through BC. We drove from Vancouver to Edmonton with Lana (Wayne's sister) and it was just AWESOME!!!
