Christmas Holidays at Fairmont Hot Springs, BC, Canada

.
The build up towards Christmas was great with a spontaneous trip to see Martin's friends in Calgary. We saw Rob and Natalie and their little girl Abby. Nat's family had rented a condo at Fairmont Hot Springs in the Rockies and we were made super welcome by Nat's Mum and Dad. We felt very lucky and it was a great few days chilling out, eating, drinking and doing jigsaw puzzles. We did do some snowshoeing and it was good to get out in the fresh mountain air. Here we are at the natural hot spring - a bit of a chilly walk down to it though.
Of course, it wasn't long before the boys were up to mischief. They found a logging road and using a strong branch stump and rope, they made a makeshift ski rope, and went car skiing! It was just like water skiing except instead of a wake, there was a road and ditches. They came back looking very pleased with themselves as they had managed to get some good speed up!* Mush
