Erin and her boyfriend Sean had the awesome idea of getting us out to Winterlude at Jacques Cartier Park for some sliding on the ice slides, which I had never even heard of and was dubious about from the get-go. As it turns out, the slides were a blast, or at least that was my personal opinion.
Gabrielle, on the other hand, wasn't a fan. We all linked arms and went down together the first time, sliding with our butts on the ice. G only agreed to go because she had no idea what she was in for. She was crying like crazy at the end, which was a mere 5 seconds after we left from the top. Personally, I thought it was a blast and would have stayed all day, were it not for my grumpy 2 year old. Did I mention all the other kids around us thought it was lots of fun?
When I finally got her to stop crying, she looked like this. Not a sight a mother wants to see.
We managed to moderately cheer her up by feeding her hot chocolate, but I never got a big smile out of her for the rest of the day. We went on another ice slide which I can say she hated twice as much as the first one. After that, it was a beeline to the car. So far Winterlude has been a bust with G but I give it two thumbs up.

Her face brings tears to my eyes too. I'm with G, not a big fan of 'rides'
