Glissade et Sucre

This afternoon we all met at Glissade Normand, a spot similar to the Mt Washington tubing park. We had great fun screaming and tubing before retiring to La Cabane a Sucre - the sugar shack - for something called La Tire sur Neige. La Tire is where they pour hot toffee on cold snow and the kids take a 'baton' - a wooden stick - and roll up the hardening toffee on the stick. Snow + Sliding + Sugar = Fun! A great way for Morgan to celebrate her 14th birthday...she got birthday songs in french and english on the bus. The kids all seem happy and seem to practising their french with their twins. Berend and I have retired back to Gilles and his wife's Anne's country estate for a well-deserved outdoor sauna and a nice home cooked meal.
