Woke up this morning to an overcast day. This is what we wish for in this part of the world, for snow!!!
So after opening our presents by the fire and having an awesome home cooked breakfast, we packed up and headed to Lake Louise! The lake is completely frozen and they have groomed it for ice skating! So we decided to give it a go.
It was so strange walking on the lake as we were admiring the beautiful blue colours of the lake only 2 months ago....
The fairmont had also built an ice castle in the middle of the ice skating rink which was pretty awesome!
It took some getting used to skating without a side rail to hold on to or a wall to slam into when you want to stop....
They had an awesome fire going on the edge of the skating rink, which worried me as I thought it was going to melt through the ice and make a big hole....
They also had a horse and sled ride but we felt bad for the horsies so didn't go for a ride in protest...
This is Marc's Grinch smile...
After we finished skating we pretty much just mucked around in the snow. There were kids on bobsleds, snow ball fights and building of snow men. Although building a snowman was almost impossible as the snow was super crunchy and wouldn't stick together.
The snow was very deep...
See what I meant about building a snowman.
This is me smoking the air.... reminded me of the time Vicky and I built a snowman when she was little..
We had an amazing day even though we really missed our family and friends back home....
I hope you enjoyed the photos today and hope you had a very Merry Christmas too...
