Winter Carnival



























We attended a really great and interesting winter carnival this weekend. There were all kinds of activities and not an overwhelming amount of people (small, small, village). There was a junkyard symphony Aria participated in, a 'wildlife caller' who came with all kinds of gadgets to call different kinds of animals (very cool), a karaoke, soap stone carving, log house building demos, clay sculpting, minnow (as in the fish) racing, chainsaw carving, llamas, free hot air balloon rides, skating and more! The kids loved the mini snowmobile rides. These were real gas powered snowmobiles, kids (even really really young kids) got a chance to drive them around a track. The volunteers had a tricky job of making sure the kids handled the vehicle properly and that they didn't get hit! My guys went twice!


Later on, Chris used the ATV to return the movie at the corner store. Starting to think we might be becoming 'country folk'.

that looks like so much fun!!

and yes, i think that qualifies you as "country folk". i totally remember thinking, a a kid, how cool it would be to go to the store on a snowmobile after i found out some of my "country" friends got to do that!
