Going to Canada

4/16/2014

So, I'm in Canada for the week. I flew in last Saturday, and I'm staying with my mom at her friend's house with her kids. All in all, Canada's a really cool country, with really nice people. Some will undoubtedly argue that the same country produced Justin Beiber and Carly Rae Jepsen, but I think the Canadians can be forgiven for that.

The great thing about Canada is that, while several things are in French, It's a lot like the States. Just colder. Everyone seems so sick of snow, but to me, the more snowmen, the more snowball fights, the better.
The first time I was here, I was also with my mom's friend's family, and one day we went snow tubing. For those of you who don't know, snow tubing is where you sit in an inner tube and slide down a snow-covered hill. So anyway, we were all waiting in line, when the youngest daughter, Isabel, slipped and fell into her snow tube. the entire thing would have ended there, but the thing was, the entire top of the hill was sloped. Which meant she went sliding into her older sister, Elizabeth, who was right in front of her, and who fell into the tube with Isabel. So then they started to pick up speed, and slid down into a lane that was taped off. And then when they got onto the slope, they really started going fast, and started screaming their heads off.

They eventually got to the "speed bump" at the bottom, were launched into the air, and came to a stop in a snowdrift. I henceforth dubbed the episode "The Lizzy and Izzy Incident." And when I heard it was an option to go to Canada again for spring break, I said, "What the heck, let's do it!"
And then spent the first two hours of the trip crushed in an extremely narrow airplane seat.

We landed in Chicago, I tried some famous Chicago deep-dish pizza for the first time (delicious!), and I learned that Chicago has some impressive dinosaur bones.
In the airport.

Luckily, I brought Max.
Max is the name of my stuffed lion. I got him when I was ten or so, and since then, I've taken him on every trip. Call me immature, but I still consider him a good friend.

I made it to Calgary, Canada, and I'll be here for the rest of the week! And while there's not that much snow on the ground, there's a lot of cool stuff, and I'm planning to see it all!
Writer's note: Sorry for the bad image quality, but I don't have a scanner on hand, and I need to go to Staples to get the images digitized. I hope this doesn't ruin your ability to enjoy the content of the pictures. Especially the one about the Lizzy and Izzy Incident!
