Last weekend we flew to Quebec City for the "Carnaval de Quebec." For two weeks in the heart of winter families brave the cold and snow (temperatures well below freezing) to enjoy winter activities such as dog sledding, snow shoeing, ice carving, sledding and much more. The event takes place in the centre of Quebec City which is a beautiful, historic old town that offers a little slice of Europe without crossing the pond. We stayed a bit North of the city at Chateau Mont Sainte-Anne, a cozy lodge with ski in/out rooms. Friends of ours that recently moved to Toronto joined us on the trip and we shared babysitting duties so that everyone could get out on the mountain. It was a fantastic trip and we are already planning to visit again this summer.
Mark and Henry meet Bonhomme Carnaval.

We found a delicious crepe cafe for lunch in Quebec City. 
In the heart of Quebec City it was cold, but Henry braved it like a true Canuck!
Ice Sculptures at Carnaval...the white dots are snow flakes...we timed it perfectly for a small blizzard while we walked Carnaval!
Although Henry had a fun trip, it's always nice to come home and see your buddies. Here he is back at our fitness class with his good friend Alex.
Jake was very excited for us to arrive back at home...and it appears Henry missed him quite a bit too.
Love the pics. What a handsome guy H is. Hard to figure as I've seen his dad. Of course when you see his mom it all becomes clear. LOL
