On Thursday, we had a massive snowstorm. I honestly think this is one of the biggest one day storms we have had since we moved her 3 years ago. The snow kept coming down hard and heavy all day and the windy was blowing it like crazy! Jay and Arabella tried to venture out in it...but they didn't get too far or last too long. It was a beautiful sight to see the big white snowflakes falling!
This is a picture of the snow hanging off our room from an upstairs window!
That night, Arabella and I had tickets to join Bram and Micki to see Saltimbanco, a Cirque du Soleil show that is ending its run after 20 years at the Bell Center downtown. We thought it might be cancelled, but who were we kidding, this is Canada and they know how to deal with snow right?!?!?!?! We left around 4 pm for a 7:30 show...and the going was slow, our roads were barely plowed...
And there were a few accidents along the way...
But all in all, the drive wasn't too bad. And Montreal was on top of clearing the snow. There were huge piles all around.
We had plenty of time to get something to eat and Arabella and Micki had a great time being silly!
After dinner, it was on to the show! Saltimbanco!! It was great and Bram and I really enjoyed it. The kids on the other hand went through phases...at some points they were totally into it, at others not so much and were asking to go home. I have loved all the Cirque shows that I have seen...I'm up to 3 now...and would jump at the chance to see any of their shows. I am glad we were able to catch this one before it ends its 20 year run tomorrow night.
Despite the weather, we had a great time! Arabella said she had fun seeing the acrobats so I think she enjoyed it despite asking to go home, I think she was tired from the long day. Anyhow, it was nice to get out for possibly one last outing before the little guy arrives!
