We both arrived at the same time on Friday night (9pm). The owner came by to make sure everything was OK, and we chatted for a little bit and went to bed pretty early.
Saturday morning we had a great breakfast of eggs, bacon, beans, and toast. We then went for a walk. First we walked to the owner's house (across the road) to borrow a sled and ask if it was safe to walk on the snowmobile path. With a sled in hand and our minds at ease, we started out along the snowmobile path. We used Taco's new harness to have him pull our nephew in the sled! It was really funny to watch them, my nephew especially loved the sled. I was impressed at his enthusiasm when he went really fast down a hill! Lunch was sandwiches and in the afternoon we played Scrabble. I am very sad to say I lost (pretty miserably) and that the two non-native English speakers won the game! We then decided we'd head to the nearest town for mass at 4pm. We all got into the car and... got terribly stuck! It took about an hour, over ten tries, shovels, planks, and a lot of muscles (from very nice snowmobilers who happened to be passing through) to get us out! Needless to say, we didn't make it in time for mass. Instead we drove around for a little bit and took in the beautiful surrounding lakes and mountains. We had burgers for dinner and then played Trivial Pursuit 90s edition, which we thought would be easier than the original, but some of the questions were really obscure!
Sunday we got up, had some healthy granola and packed all of our stuff. We were worried that the second car wouldn't make it up the hill, but it made it no problem - a trusty, rusty, old Toyota! We went to mass and then to lunch at a super cute sandwich shop called Eats and Sweets. We parted ways and went home with some great memories.
