val-des-lacs • 38 comments • One morning, we drove from Montreal to Val-des-Lacs on a wintery Quebec day. We attempted to ice fish, learned some survival skills (I've determined that I'd last 5 minutes, tops, in the wild), and went snow shoeing through a Narnia-like forest. - Mina
lac des castors • 18 comments • In an attempt to make friends with winter this year, we've been trying to get out for as many walks as possible. I doubt the novelty of freshly fallen snow will ever wear off on me. This certainly isn't a love letter to the season, but winters are much more tolerable in Montreal than they ever were in Winnipeg. If only I still didn't have to wear a thousand layers to leave the house... These are a few more images (and an iPhone video of us being embarrassingly silly) from this day in late December. - Mina P.S. No Alexs were harmed in the making of the video; he fell over purposely to make me laugh. + our previous videos and photos from Lac Des Castors a.k.a Beaver Lake

apple picking • 15 comments • I think apple picking might become a yearly tradition for us... that is, if we can be so lucky to always live close enough to an apple orchard. We came home with 2 ten pound bags. Besides just eating them raw, I've made enough apple crisp to last forever (and by forever, I mean a week). - Mina
