Return of the Onesies: A Comic Strip

Cowboy Photo Studio & Dog Sledding

Cowboy Photo Studio
i mentioned before that we were setting up a photo studio for a cowboy themed party (with about 300 people attending). We created a great studio, using things we found along the way.  Like the saloon doors, which we stumbled upon at a talent show a few days before the cowboy party (synchronicity & manifestation in abundance!)

We took photos of the revelers all dressed-up, together with their friends, then printed them instantly using technology unimaginable in those bygone days!  Smiles all around!

At the end of the party, we remembered to take a couple snaps of ourselves, which looked like this:

our bad ass cowboy faces

Dog Sledding
i also went dog sledding...for free: a perk of being the girlfriend of an adventure tourism student!  i'd heard that it was lots of fun, but was reluctant to hurt dogs in any way.  From what i experienced, the huskies absolutely LOVE it - they can't wait to get out and start their 'walk', and whenever we stopped they would just stare at me, wanting to start running again.

It was both cool and scary having the responsibility of driving the sled...

This ain't no Xmas deco!  Real icicles on the tree.

This week the reality of living in such a small space with another human also truly hit me.  (Imagine taking all your essential personal belongings into your kitchen & camping out there with someone else...except the toilet, for that you have to put on snowshoes & go outside!)  My introverted tendencies dancing with Antoine's extrovert-nature.  But it's okay, everything can be treated as a lesson in love.  And we're learning all the time :)

As i read an earlier version of this post to Antoine (which kicked off with a more detailed account of the week's challenges), he listened and encouraged me to post whatever i liked.  But he also thought it strange, because he said he'd had some of the best ever yurt moments this past week & had already forgotten the brief chats about the need for time alone.  So, once again i'm reminded it's all about what we put our focus on in the present.  Thanks, Antoine, je t'aime!

This Canadian Yurt

A LOT of Snow

i love the more traditional snow shoes.

i’m not exaggerating when i say there was A LOT of snow yesterday.  i know i'm telling the truth because we had to put on snowshoes to go to the toilet. 

The snow was almost halfway up our door when we woke up, which meant *climbing* out of the yurt, in snowshoes, in order to go to the toilet!

How many steps to the toilet?

Wet feet!  Next time put on snowshoes AND gaters to go to toilet!

i've omitted the image of me peeing.  But i tell you squatting over a bucket full of sawdust, whilst wearing snowshoes & brushing snow from the toilet paper *is** a pretty amusing image!

Antoine rocking the snowy look.

there be icicles on these here prayer flags!

We donned our neon ski suits/all in ones (that some may remember from our 2 idiots in Québec bollywood film!) and went for an epic adventure in the forest. 

We took lots of great photos, but we're attempting to do something different with them.  If it works you'll get to see the results, otherwise i'll post the photos here.

Thought this Canadian yurt looked like a cake, so i added a cherry to it!
