Our plan was to go find the shuttle stop for the free Sno-Bus. It was another thing we had never tried, using the free buses, but we figured we would give it a try. We were heading over to the Snowflake Kingdom in Jacques Cartier Park.
Cameron checking out a model of Ottawa
We walked through Confederation Park on our way to the bus stop. It was neat to see the ice sculptures by day and see how far the carvers had gotten since the night before.
The park had a few art installations - this one was a tree made out of hockey equipment!
We found the bus stop and the bus, and it turned out to be super easy (and free!). We will definitely use that again next year.
Over at Snowflake Kingdom - our view down the giant family ice slide
Here we come down the slide! The Winterlude mascots, the Ice Hogs, were going down the slide next to us.

The single rider ice slides
Time for a family race - Daddy, Mama and Leah, and Cameron
So fun!
Waiting in line for the tube slides. We have never been able to go on these before because the line is always so long. I guess that is one advantage of getting to the park when it opens!
Tube slides! That is Nana going down.
Mama and Leah ready to go
There goes Uncle Matt
Mama and Leah on our way down. When we got to the bottom, I asked Leah if she liked it. She said "YES!" so I asked if she wanted to go again. She looked at me like I was crazy and said "All done."
Cam's view from the top, in his double tube with Daddy
Tim goes for a ride by himself
This time Poppa and Cameron go down in a double slide - can you find Cameron in the front of the tube?

After lots of fun awesome sliding, we headed back over to the hotel for lunch and nap. In the afternoon our plan was skating on the canal, but that is for another post...
