Snowflake festival

We went to the Snowflake Festival at Glazebrook Park tonight. The Parks dept. puts it on, and they do a really nice job. They have several activities, all free. As we were walking out the door to the car, up walked Matt and Bradey, so we drug them along. Then, we got to see Carol, Jan, and Alex at the park. We also got to...

Pet a reindeer...

Pet snow dogs...

And, no...in the above picture Jacob isn't pouty or about to cry...he just can't feel his face anymore!!

roast marshmallows (if not chestnuts) by an open fire, take a horse-drawn carriage ride...

...drink hot chocolate, and (of course) see Santa.

If it had been up to me, I'd probably have sat home tonight, but we really had a good time. Daniel even went along, which was a real treat because we have so little time with him these days. Of course, being a 16 year old boy, he went in the 27 degree weather in shorts, but at least he went!
