Quins go sledging . The Dionne Quintuplets had their first taste of the thrills of winter sport in the garden of their private hospital at Callender , Ontario , after several heavy snowfalls . Snugley wrapped up in their warm woollies , the Quins were taken for a sledge ride by Dr A B Dafoe , their own doctor , under watchful eyes of their nurses . Then they had a glorious romp in the snow which was something quite new to them . Photo shows , Marie trails her hand in the snow as she goes for a sledge ride with her sisters , left to right , Marie , Annette , Cecile , Yvonne and Emilie . 19 April 1936
