Cabane a sucre is a franco-canadian tradition of boiling down the sap from maple trees to make maple syrup. Every year hundreds of the maple farms offer up traditional franco-canadian meals and entertainment. Lucy invited some friends from work to join us and we had lots of fun eating, petting the animals, walking through the woods and eating crystalized maple sugar off the snow. We can definitely recommend La P'tite cabane d'la cote.

It doesn't seem that long ago that we brought this little thing home with us (see September 2006 in the archives); so helpless... Next thing you know BLAM: she's dancing around like she is on a mission.

It sure felt like it this afternoon - the snow was melting, the sun was shining, and we were out on the street jumping in puddles and playing with a ball!

Congrats; we're so proud!!!

This year was an exciting Easter for us, as we celebrated with some traditional activities (barnyard animals, egg hunt) and a new event - the annual pet store visit! Hope you got some good quality chocolate this year! (none of that waxy stuff) (the fountain and fish pond at the pet store; it was really hard to pull Alice away from this)

Don't let Guy's big smile fool you - he's not the only one benefiting from the new computer that was delivered last weekend. As you can see below, Alice had a blast playing with the box. And Lucy is enjoying expanded blogging capabilities!

Finally, a question for all you brits: how long does it take you to shovel all of that fog and rain you complain about? Huh?

Voila the pics from our wonderful Caribbean cruise. We returned yesterday evening after enjoying a week aboard the glamorous Carnival Liberty ship. The week in review: (bonus photo - Guy's pre-cruise-full-facial-shave) Fort Lauderdale - It was such a glorious feeling to get off the plane and feel the warm air seep through our many layers of clothing! We hurried to our (gorgeous) hotel to get into our flip flops and shorts, and then explored the hotel and its surroundings (picking up a few last minute items at Walgreens) Enbarkment - Due to a medical emergency on our ship during the previous cruise, we boarded several hours late. Instead of strolling onto the ship with plenty of time to relax, and for Alice to enjoy her nap, we were bused to town for an afternoon of waiting. Upon our return to the port, we had to join the neverending line-ups to board. Besides our own medical problems (see below) this was pretty much the low point of the vacation. Line-ups and delays definitely make...
