So, two weeks ago we went north. They had just had two feet of snow the previous week. My father and law and I shoveled patch on the lake for the kids to skate. It was easily 18 inches deep, and it took us nearly two hours to clear the square patch you see in the first picture (taken this past Saturday).
Then, last week, it warmed up for three days. The snow cover on the lake melted to a giant puddle on top of the existing ice and refroze. When we went up this Saturday, the entire lake was a massive, gorgeous sheet of ice. So we spent three full days skating it.

Me and him waving hello to mom. The guy in red, way in the back left, is ice fishing.
And because the weekend wasn't Canadian enough, we went to see the dogsled races.
