My parents came over Saturday afternoon when Scott got home from coaching his basketball games. We hung out at our house for a bit before bundling up and heading downtown. It was so cold, but we made it work!
A new addition this year was a tubing run, but the line was really long and not moving very fast. We were grateful the boys didn't mind passing it up. Not to mention it was $5 per kid to go down and that just seemed silly to spend the money and time on such a small tubing hill. Instead, we walked around half of the park before going in the heated tent to eat a corn dog and look at the different booths.
Of course the boys enjoyed the "kid area" where they had an ice cream cone sculpture you could put your face in, a football helmet for your face, a table made of ice with a hockey puck to pass back and forth, an animal sculpture to ride on, and tic tac toe made out of ice with little sacks of rice to use.
Our favorite spot is always the ice throne! The boys both fit sitting together this year. I wonder how many more years we'll be able to squeeze them both on the seat.
My personal favorite was the sculpture of Mickey and Minnie! Yay, Disney!
Our last stop was the petting zoo where we let the boys go inside the corral and brush the animals. It was only $1 each and they enjoyed it. By then, we were cold and ready to head back home. We changed out of our winter gear, went out to dinner at Bob Evan's (hey...it was Weight Watcher's friendly), and came back to watch Pete's Dragon. The boys saw Pete's Dragon on Netflix on Friday night with me and Scott and wanted to watch it again and show Grandma and Grandpa. It's such a cute movie! Sean almost cried.
Now the trick is for us to stay healthy. It never fails...around the time of the Ice Festival and/or our anniversary one of the kids always get sick. As I'm fighting a cold and Sean has a cough, I'm crossing my fingers it doesn't turn into anything else.
