Yay am in Canada, and there is Much Snow! Most they've had so far this year apparently and the poor brother had gone off to do his driving test in it.

Flight was good, Air Canada get bonus points for actually remembering I booked a vegetarian meal (I'm looking at You, Cathay Pacific) tho hangover was not quite pleasant. Just as well we didn't continue on drinking really - it did seem like a good idea at the time tho (these things always do :p)

Got a great welcome from the boys - ambushed and taken on a tour of the house then spent the evening playing with Power Rangers. And drinking wine (hair of the dog and all that.)

Now if you'll excuse me, apparently I have to go be Fireman sam.

So first full day nearly over. It still feels much much later than it actually is - didn't get any jetlag that I noticed in Sydney but here my poor head is confused. Kept waking up last night and thinking it was morning. Didn't help that I kept reading my watch upside down, so I thought 1:15 was quarter to 7 and 3am was 9 :p
Leo appears to have claimed me as his personal servant and spends most of his time demanding I play/get stuff/dance/watch terrible kids tv and so on. He hates the snow tho - screams like mad if he has to go near it, tho he'll have to get used to it!
Ollie on the other hand loves it and we spent an hour or more this morning having snowball fights and making snow angels, Really Big snowballs and a Really Small snowman (snowdwarf really). I'm not sure who was having more fun, I haven't seen that much snow, well, ever really I think :p Great stuff!
Went on a quick drive round Oakville later on, saw the lake - it is Very Big and did a bit of shopping, tho with the Terrible Toddler (I wanna get OUT, I no like Santa, I wanna cookie, wanna go HOME) in tow, we couldn't stay too long.
Did tho see some woman get her Tiny Little Rat Dog get it's picture taken with Santa. Seriously.
The thing had a jumper on and kept trying to bite Santa, which brought much amusement all round. Except to Santa of course, who looked extremely unimpresed with the whole thing, and I can't really blame him.

Thats about it so far! No Mounties as of yet ;p

PS the new Stompy boots are GREAT in the snow, warm, dry and grippy. STOMP STOMP
