Kintail Country Christmas

We heard about an old fashioned Christmas celebration at the Mill of Kintail this weekend so decided to check it out. When we first arrived we were greeted by these beauties and were just in time for a "two-horse-open-sleigh ride".
Buppa helped Smudge say hello to the horses...
then Amma helped Smudge find a seat.
We were all ready for a snowy ride through the woods. What fun!
After our ride we made tracks to the Museum and stopped along the way to say hello to friends.
Inside the museum Smudge was delighted to join many other children for the Christmas concert.
The gentleman in the picture below was quite a colourful character and entertained us royally.
Smudge and friends got up to dance from time to time...
then found their seats again...
when it was story time.
When we left the museum, we stopped at the Education centre for hot apple cider and cookies...
then Amma helped Smudge make a pine-cone bird feeder.

Then it was time for another sleigh-ride through the woods...
before a stop at the playground, on our way back to the car.
I think we should put this event down on our calendar for next year too. It was a fun day in a beautiful spot.
