Yes, you guessed that right, we went to Omega Park on Saturday. Maelie really wanted to have Lisa discover the joy of being slobbered on. Lisa accepted, you know, being the trooper that she is!
Here is a cute baby nursing on his mama. So natural!
In the middle of the drive around, there was a "Cabane a sucre". Isn't this the most natural sight in the middle of the forest now? A Purell dispenser on a tree?
We had some of the "tire d'erable" on a stick... MMmmmmmm
The kids got to put it on a stick themselves. Yum yum!!
They are eveb producing some Birch syrup... apparently it is very different than maple syrup and costs a lot more as it takes more of the sap for the same quantity.
Cute sisters!
Maelie and her walking stick!
Some of the deer came out and let us feed them.
Others preferred to stay lying down, and insisted we go to them in the woods to feed them....
It's amazing how they were so calm, and not nervous at all.
This one was a bit shy at first. Obviously he thought we couldn't see him behind the tree.
Lisa managed to feed this shy one :)
After a nice little walk to feed the deer, we returned to the slobber! Poor Lisa! haha
When we got to the gift shop area, we were pretty happy to visit the REAL washrooms and not the portopotty!
We took this picture outside of the building and it's pretty funny because it looks as if Maelie is smacking Tristan across the head for no apparent reason and is laughing about it while he is covering his head in pain. The true story is that the sign was swinging and hit his head, and Maelie was actually putting her arm up to stop the sign from swinging straight into Tristan's head!! This goes to show how sometimes, we see something and ASSUME.... but really, we don't know the real story.
Surprisingly, Maelie decided to pose on a rock! It was so nice and sunny and warm, maybe she was just tanning and not posing.
Once we got back from Omega Park, we had a quick rest for half an hour and then headed off to the Cabane a Sucre. We had made reservations for the last sugar shack weekend of the year! I wanted Lisa to see what it was like.
This particular sugar shack changed a lot since I visited it last. They built a whole new dining area and you can fit about 300 people now! Last time I went I am not even sure you could fit 50. Here are the beautiful girls once again! I am glad they let me take pictures of them together... these are beautiful memories especially since we don't see each other often.
After the HUGE meal, we had more "tire sur la neige". Maelie didn't have any as she was SO full she compared herself to a sewer back up. She said she felt like a Maelie back up.
Relaxing after a nice big meal.
Last picture of the day!
We went home, chit chatted a bit, and then passed out in bed. What a beautiful day this was!
