Long Weekend in Collingwood

We spent the long weekend in Collingwood with Mum and Dad. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate. We had a steady stream of rain, hail and cold breezes. However we still were able to make the most of our situation by going on hikes and taking advantage of the indoor/outdoor pools.
The highlight of the trip was a visit to the Collingwood Scenic Caves. Can you spot the "Indian Chief's profile" in the rock formation below??

Dylan was able to squeeze through the cave called "Fat Man's Misery". (He was the only one in our group).
Snow does not melt in the bottom of the caves until November. Mum and Dylan took advantage of this and had a snowball fight.

Another hike took us to the top of Blue Mountain (Dylan's ski hill). The gondola was operating for the mountain bikers and we were given a free ride down the hill (you only pay for the ride up!)

In the village, Dylan enjoyed a game of "checkers" with another boy.

Mum and Dylan enjoyed the momentary sunshine by indulging in a box of onion rings.
