“08_02_16 till 18 Family Weekend”

Bellevue AB and Ferni BC Feb 16 till 18 It has been almost a month since we visited our little place in the mountains. Luckily we could go again. As soon as we came I experienced a bit of a shock - snow, snow and more snow. Our mini vacation I had to start by heavy-duty shoveling, there was simply no way to get to the house - we were snowed in. After clearing the path we mostly stayed indoors…hehehe, well not to count little walk later that evening. Next day we went for breakfast to our “usual morning eatery - “Chris’ Place” in Coleman to be reminded that they are closed on Mondays. Well, after having sort of breakfest at Tim’s Horton we decided to go for a drive to Fernie B.C. and treat ourselves to a nice lunch. I knew that they got snowed in but I didn’t realize that they got SNOWED IN - snow drifts taller than me and I am 6'. We had great day walking around old Fernie and we did have great lunch. Unfortunately it was soooo slippery that after about 2 hours of walking around we pretty much had it. Too bad I still can not ski.
