Family Day in Ontario..part 2 of 2...

The first pic is part of the trails at Porcupine Ski Runners, a great spot for Cross country skiing and snowshowing, kilometers of natural trails.
Then we were on to the Snowmobile Club, the second pic is of a groomer, this is a machine used to clean and groom the trails, there were rides offered on it as well as the ski doos were busy coming and going with happy kids and parents!!
There was a bon fire going to warm up by, hot dogs were free and hot chocolate or coffee was enjoyed also!
We often see these huge logging trucks on the roads, so with my camera still in 'sportsmode', caught him at a good speed!!
All in all it was a great day and fun was had by all...

Family Day in Ontario.. part 1 of 2...

is a Provincial holiday, celebrated on the 3rd Monday in February, It was a clear but cool day in Northern Ontario,
so decided to take in a few of the scheduled events, skating at a few rinks, cross country skiing and snow shoeing at the ski runners and skidoo rides at the local snow mobile clubhouse. With my camera in sportsmode, we took off to enjoy the day. Had never seen this first contraption before, but so helpful for the little ones just learning to skate!!
