Just in time for their Remembrance Day celebrations*, I (virtually) rolled into Thunder Bay last night, 3000 km from January 1st.
(* I can’t tell what Thunder Bay is doing for Remembrance Day. The city web site says nothing about it on their home page, and searching their site only shows that veterans can ride transit for free today and the waste collection schedule has changed.)

Posing with a neighbour’s cat.
Jynxed by yesterday’s post, S has a fever today and H isn’t feeling well either. :-( K & I are feeling fine though!

We woke this morning to huge soft wet flakes coming down. Had no choice but to go out in it before breakfast. And after breakfast… well, our stuff wasn’t too wet so we went out again.
Five steps to a perfect snowman:
1. Roll
2. Pat
3. Lift
4. Decorate
5. Introduce yourself
We gave our snowman two faces. One looking at the house, the other looking at the neighbours.
Throwing snowballs with Grandpa:

We took advantage of the “warm” weekend (temperatures got above freezing!) and finally did what we’ve been wanting to the last several years: a family outing to a pumpkin farm.
It’s too cold for the pumpkins to still be on the vine, but there were plenty of other fun activities for us, including a corn maze, a pumpkin canon, pumpkin slingshot, hay ride, and more.
Corn Maze
We're lost!
Pumpkin slingshot
Bring out the big guns--a pumpkin canon!
Ride 'em cowboy!
Oops, caught myself!
Priceless!
Picking the best ones

The weather warmed right up this weekend so all but a few shady clumps of snow are gone, but here you go with some shots from last week.
Snow angels
Not sure what they're doing
Loved it!

Saturday: a breaker broke so we’re doing laundry by candlelight
Sunday: prepared for Thanksgiving
Monday: had Thanksgiving dinner with Dad and Mom. Replaced the broken breaker. Lights still don’t work. Oops, guess that wasn’t the problem.
Tuesday: biked to work in fresh snow. Winked at the frustrated drivers as I pedaled past them. Called an electrician.
Here’s a picture of Shana:
