You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land, there is no other life but this.” ~Henry David Thoreau

Fire & Ice Winter Festival

We had a great time as always with the Jensens who came for the weekend for the Fire & Ice fest. This year the sculptures were kind of BLAH and so no photos. The fireworks were great and we had a fun time by the ice bar dancing to the band. I told the kids whoever "boogied" the best would get a prize. They weren't shy...Oreos to ALL! Most of the photos are from Echo (tubing/ski hill 10 min. from our house). I decided to sit this one out since last weekend I hit my butt pretty hard and then later Benny told me the placenta can detach, so maybe I shouldn't play (ya think so?)
Liv was the only one who wasn't so sure of the ride, but she did some runs and was a sport (love the look of concern in the Tube and the mad look with Jer)
Thanks for coming Jensens! See you next year for some of us in better health to jump in the lake for the Polar Bear Splash!

How fun to have friends come visit! Bronte and I went to see the sculptures, and agree - blah. What was the deal with the "ice signs"? Hopefully next year they will bring back a greater variety AND we will have snow for snow sculptures again.

It always looks like you and your husband do so many fun things with your kids. That's really what it's all about! Enjoy them so much because they grow up way too fast! We are so excited that you are expecting a new little one! Congrats! Craig and Cassie's is due today--but still no baby yet!

Love the pictures of the tubing, but the photos of little Dean and his parents were just gorgeous! You have an eye, Haley!
