ice fest

our town celebrates a little something called "ice fest" every january where they bring in sculptors who carve elaborate things out of ice that are then displayed around all around town. look how teeny tiny dylan was last year:

she looks like one of those little doll babies health classes give teens!

here are dylan and jim from this week sitting on a giant bear ice chair. (please take notice of ice-elvis in the top right corner.) how cute is jim carrying her in that baby sling?

we may not have a coffee shop that is open past five, a thai or indian restaurant (or anything really that doesn't serve either sandwiches or expensive steaks), or much of a local economy for anyone not in business for herself, but we have ice sculpture! and kettle corn. things could be worse.
