Millions of Maelies!

So many poses so little time!

I just love when Maelie is in a playful move and decides to have her picture taken!!

Maelie likes going for hikes for photo sessions. We take a whole bunch and then she usually selects one or 2 that she likes as her profile picture. I of course end up liking them all as long as there are no middle fingers sticking up!!

We are lucky to be able to go visit Gatineau Park... such a beautiful place!

I saw a trail online that brought us to waterfalls... so I decided we would try that one! It took us to the Carbide Wilson Ruins.

The first sign we saw along the way was:

Thankfully we are not the type to walk around with no clothes on!!

Selfies are always a very important part of our excursions :)

The view long the way was breathtaking!

So many photo opportunities... Maelie enjoyed the hike. I did as well until we had to turn around and come back!! It was such a long way!

When the website said it would be a 30 minute hike... they didn't take into account that I am not a really fast walker!! We made it to the beautiful waterfalls in about an hour 15 minutes :)

The ruins were ... well... ruined!

Hi baby girl!!

Once we got back to the parking lot, we left our walking sticks rights on the rock where we found them. Hopefully 2 other people would use them for a wonderful hike!!

New place in town

We saw these interesting signs on the news recently and of course, hearing that it was advertising for a Cat Café... I was quite interested!! I can't own a cat due to allergies in our home, but I really LOVE them.

So of course when I heard of Café Chat Siberien, it was on my to-visit list!! So after the hot air balloon chasing, Maelie and I headed out there.

Here is the star of that sign :) Walking in the cat area, everything was SO perfect for them! They can run around the café, climb everywhere, it's amazing how well done it is! There were even couches to just sit and hope that a kitty will drop by on your lap!

Gorgeous little guys!!

More mature kitty... very cute!

Maelie is really good with cats, she doesn't run after them or try to get their attention, she lets them come to her.

We also learned that YES, we are allergic to Siberian cats. (some people aren't allergic to this kind) So, it's great we can go visit them but not stay too too long. We leave once the sneezing starts!

We'll go back for sure. It was a VERY clean place, the mocha & hot chocolate were delicious, and you leave there really content. The staff was friendly and kind, and they went out of their way to make sure we had a pleasant visit.
