Manning Park

Today we went to Manning Park for an overnight stay. We got a special at the lodge up there and decided to take a break from the cold..... by taking advantage of the cold and heading up for some skiing/snowboarding/skating.

The lodge was great - and it only took us about 2 hours to get there. Paul did some skiing after we arrived, while Holly and I had lunch, and walked around. We checked out the outdoor skating rink and found some ice sculptures built around the rink... besides the bear with the honey pot and ice house pictured here, there was a dinosaur beside an overturned car, a shark (complete with victim!), and a sinking ship, among others - someone was very creative! When Paul came back, we went for a quick skate and then a dip in the pool and hot tub before dinner. We were all in bed and asleep by 9pm!
