Australia Day 2013 in Toronto

Australia Day fell on a Saturday this year, so we decided to take a trip to the beach with Jax to celebrate!

There's been quite a bit of snow since Christmas - for the last week it has been -15 most of the time and it snowed almost all day Friday.  

More pretty trees on the way.

Jax was enjoying the cold weather - he loves the snow and enjoyed romping through the leaves.

We made it to the beach!   There were no lifeguards so apparently swimming was out of the question...

Stephen was doing a bit of sunbathing in -15.  

 Checking the thickness of the ice on Lake Ontario.  A second later it cracked and Stephen nearly fell in.

Jax chilling out enjoying the beach.

 On the way home, Stephen tried a bit of tobogganing.

Jax thought it was fun to chase him.  Note that I have never seen anyone above the age of 8 tobogganing in Canada, except us :)

 We arrived home to enjoy some home-made lamingtons.  Happy Australia Day!
