Quebec, Canada by Andrew

We are now in Quebec (pronounced : ke-bec), Quebec is a province in Canada that is 1.5 million Km2 which is 15.4% of Canada making it the 2nd biggest province in Canada. Quebec also has 9 million people which makes it the 2nd most populated province in Canada, now enough information let’s get on to what we did in Quebec. Mainly we played in the snow because how often can I do that in Queensland (once every ice age), Me and Emma built a snowman, I named it Jeffery (Emma wanted to call it snowy). We made some paths in the snow and had a snow fight, it was so fun. We also made a tiny ice rink by digging a hole and then it rained and got filled up with water, We also made a slide out of snow and we slid down it about a hundred times. We stayed in Saint Melanie with Kevin and Roxane, Roxane is my mum’s cousin which make her my cousin once removed so that makes Savannah (Rox and Kev’s child) my second cousin. While we were staying with them we went to another city called Montreal three times, it’s the biggest city in Quebec but not the capital (Quebec city is the capital of Quebec). We drove an hour to get there but when we were over there we did quite a few stuff, we did some shopping and went to a cathedral, the cathedral was really interesting, there was three levels and it had lots of colours that where really pretty. We looked around and I really liked it. We also went to an art museum and it was really cool there were lots of modern art and some sculptures to. We also went to a biodome that had lots of animals, I really liked it because there were two of my favourite animals there, an otter and lots of penguins, there were also quite a few fish. After that we went to a planetarium and watched two shows, it was really interesting, then we went to an insectarium. It was awesome, there were all sorts of different insects but my favourite one was one that looked like a dead leaf, it was so well disguised that I couldn’t tell if it was a dead leaf or an insect, it was so interesting. We also went to the nutcracker ballet and it was truly amazing they were all really good dancers and some bits were funny so I really liked it, we got some miny nutcrackers as a souvenir. It sounds like we did a lot but most of the time we stayed home with Kev, Rox and Savannah, Savannah is two and a half, me and Emma played with Savannah a bit and watched a lot of TV. Kev and Rox have a nice house and it’s near a pretty forest, and we went on a walk in there, it was cool. We also went ice skating, it was really fun but also really hard at the same time, I was really bad at stopping so when I had to stop I would just stop moving my feet and slow down gradually. While we were still with Rox and Kev something happened that happens every year, Christmas happened, it was really fun we ate lots and played lots, but most importantly, PRESENTS!!! I got some little metal models I could make called metal earth, I also got a One-Piece Lego thingy and some One-Piece decorations. Not long after that we went to a sliding-down-snowy-ramps-on-an-inflatable-toboggan place, it was super fun we went up and then we slid down, it was awesome. I did it so many times that I lost count. We also visited Quebec city, it is not the biggest city in Quebec but one of the most historic ones, we took a tour in a citadel, it was cool, we saw a lot of old defensive stuff and old houses. We looked at a big cathedral and then at night we went into a church that had a light show. It was one of the best light shows we’ve seen, there were lot of lights and it was super cool. One of the last things we did was go to Omega park, it’s a place that has lots of animals, we saw otters, bears wolves, moose, elk, bison, foxes, deer, coyotes, caribou, boars, goats, racoons, horses and squirrels. We could feed some carrots to the deer and elk and it was really fun. Now this is the end of my blog now because we didn’t do much else, so 3,2,1. The End!!! (duh duh duuuuh)
