We had some exciting activities up in Leith for the February long weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shoreline had many caves with ice stalactites.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The kids ran wild (and cross-country skied) on the beach.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Even Aunt Mary got talked into braving the treacherous ice, <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Slush\/ice balls along the shoreline – apparently, the conditions have to be perfect for the spheres to form along shallow beaches.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Playing on mini icebergs. The water is shallow and these are bumping on the sand bottom.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Kids are up and out early in the morning, leaving us notes to find when the parents eventually crawl out of bed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Winter storm! The winds were ferocious, and the water freezes instantly when the waves splash on you. Of course, the kids pick the ideal placement for the splashes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Lots of snow clearing to be done.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But first, read the new Herman books that Aunt Mary managed to procure.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
