Tara's off on a weekend retreat with her high school girlfriends in Montréal, and the kids and I have hunkered down with our good friends Simon and Judith in the Gatineau region of Québec so it's my duty to fulfill the regular update. Our drive from the Cape to Ottawa went pretty well, all things considered. The kids were about as good as you could expect two people under 5 to be on a 10 hour trip -- no meltdowns, no significant issues, but no naps, either. Tara brought along a bunch of "prizes" to be awarded after successful rest stops, a few of which were big hits.
Now, on to the photos. First, the Child Center Carnival day:

| Face-painting was a popular activity |
After the long drive to Ottawa, a nice night at our friends Jane and Mike's place, followed by some puking by Juniper (some kind of stomach bug I guess), we made it to Simon and Judith's in the Gatineau hills. Below, some photos from our adventures over the last couple days while Tara has been away:
