After spending most of the day "spring cleaning" several closets and our basement. (Maybe it's more like baby "nesting".) We decided to we better get out and have some fun!
Our downtown here (we live just blocks from) puts on free events frequently. This weekend was the "Fire and Ice Festival". The temperatures were in the 'teens'...but we still had a great time.
Attractions included: ice sculptures in front of most main businesses, a "warming station" where people roasted marshmallows over a fire, a toboggan run down one of the steep side streets, a temporary ice skating rink just off of main street, and then at 8 p.m. there were fireworks!
Toboggan runWe have had our eye on a "diner" on main street. So, we stopped in tonight for some hot chocolate. It had old music playing and a long, curvy counter where we all sat on bar stools.
Joshua pretty much put the straw in his mouth and never took it out. While we pushed him around in the stroller he just sipped and sipped. We figured he must have run out by the time we made it to the car...but he managed to have enough to sip all the way home and finish at our kitchen table! Our little ice cube with the warm tummy! He knew better than the rest of us how to do it right!
