Day 68 - Para skiing

Another attraction along Highway 20 is para skiing. We saw the colourful sails from the highway and figured this was another photo op not to be missed. The skiing takes place on a huge open field. The field was filled with people of a variety of skill levels and ages. I parked the car on the side of the road and took pictures. I'm not sure how the skiers were staying warm because after about 3 minutes outside I had very cold red cheeks(both sets) and was ready to seek the warmth of the car.

Day 67 - BIG Dog

We're about to embark on kitchen and bathroom renovations. The good news is that it involved going to one of Peg's favourite stores (Antique Chez Ti Pere) and pick out a new dining room set. The store is about 20 minutes from the bridge on Highway 20. After a fruitful albeit expensive trip to the store we headed back into town. We passed this not so little fellow on the way. We've passed him many times before and I often say that we should stop and take a pic. Since we're on March Break we decided today would be a good day. This guy is at the entrance of a dog sledding place. They also have a sugar cabin and paintball facilities. Interesting combination??
When I was editing I zoomed in and noticed that the little yellow plaque was there to let me know that I was being surveyed by a camera. I guess I wasn't the only one taking pictures.
