Winter Carnival

We have had a great winter carnival weekend. I think this year has been my favorite for the ice sculptures of all the years we have lived here. The theme was fantasy. Lots of castles, which is a kid favorite. Brocks parents came up on Friday evening. Kamden was so happy they could come watch her be in the parade. Her preschool was in the parade as flowers. They each made their flowers and were so cute. There is one little boy in Kamdens class that went home and told his parents he was not going to be a flower. So they made him into a venus fly trap, with a fly painted on his face. It was awesome! I again was not allowed to leave Kamdens side, so I walked along the side of the float. Aspen got lots of candy and necklaces so she was happy!
Kamden on her garden float. That is one cute flower!Kamden with some friends from her class. Miyah is the one in the middle and is her favorite friend from school. They will be going to different elementary schools and Kamden is pretty sad about that. Cash all bundled up for the parade!
Here are two little boys in Kamdens class that she really gets along with. Dyllan and Hayden(the venus fly trap) One cute girl with a lot of beads!Our good friends built this sculpture. They own a dock business so it is of a bear fishing in an ice pond while sitting on a dock. They also built a fun slide. This is Aspen and Brock going down. They got the First Timer Award.This ice sculpture was call Candy Land like the game. It got 4th place and prize for Kid Appeal. More Candy Land. This is a huge fish with a slice of pizza hanging out of its mouth. It was right outside a pizza place. This one got 3rd place. This one got 5th place. If you can't tell its a speed boat with people chillin inside.This sculpture was amazing it was a circle of trees with a face carved into each of them and a castle coming out of the top. The detail was awesome. In the picture was Rexanne(Brocks mom), Kamden, Aspen and Me. This one got 1st place.

Here is a closer up of the tree detail, pretty amazing stuff.Grand Prize! This one was a huge castle with a dragon, knight, bridge you can walk on, king and queen sitting on their throne, a slide, and a cave. This guy has won grand prize the last 4 years.Here is the side view of the sculpture that got Grand Prize. Kamden sitting on the Kings lap.And finally Aspen and I sound asleep on the couch together after a long, cold and busy day walking around town.

Hi, Brielle! I feel bad -- I haven't read your blog in months! But, it was fun to read about your FUN day at the winter carnival (that is just TOO cool! -- no pun intended!). Your kids are adorable -- and Cash is getting so big! It's great to see that you are doing so well. I'm sure your parents are so grateful for modern technology and the ability to keep up-to-date with their loved ones. I love reading their blog -- I miss them so much. :o) Take care!
