We just got back from the opening of McCall's annual winter festival. We had so much fun! I have always wanted to go to it but we have always had something for school or work. I was so excited to go and the festival is definitely something we will now be attending every year! There were so many awesome sculptures, I only put in pictures of few.
The new hundred dollar bill featuring Conner.For those of you who are not familiar with McCall, it is the cutest little resort town. It sits on a beautiful lake and is about 20 miles from 2 different ski resorts. It is a great little get away any time of year.
The festival had all sorts of vendors and events going on. All of the businesses have major snow and ice sculptures. There is even a snow sculpture competition. It is fun to walk all over town and just check stuff out. They did a big fireworks display over the frozen lake on Friday night and had a parade on Saturday.
This one is a little hard to see. It is a polar bear fishing and it has a slide that comes down and the kids finish on the ice. If you look closely you can see the kids lined up on the back waiting for their turn.
The first time Zackie came down he just laid on the ice. It was so funny. But he loved it and wanted to go down a million more times!
Conner fell and smacked his head hard on the ice. Poor kid- he is always the one to get hurt!
My favorite snow sculpture was a castle that sat on a bunch of trees. The boys could play inside and climb all through it. We all had a blast.
My favorite sculpture.

Conner is such a good big brother. He followed Zackie around and helped him all through the sculptures. Cute brothers!
Zackie put on the water works after every display we left. He could have stayed forever!
They had fun little sledding hill so while we were waiting for the fireworks to start we bought Conner a little sled and he had a wonderful time!
When we were driving up our car was reading 10 degrees outside so we were a little worried. But it warmed up to a balmy 33 degrees and we were all bundled up nice and toasty.
Victor with Tiffany and Kristen. Tif was such a good little momma always making sure everyone was taken care of. And both girls provided an extra set of helpful hands while we were chasing the boys around. They are so awesome! Thanks girls! I love em'!!!

There was one year we were going to go up, BUT I got put on bed rest before Noah was born. We never did make it! Glad you guys did and had a wonderful time! We had always heard how neat it was, now we have your pics to prove it!
That is awesome!! Your boys are so cute!!
Wow! What a fun event. Glad you all stayed warm! I love the pic of Zack on the ice, it reminds me of Randy in a Christmas story!
How fun! We are going this coming weekend and I am a little worried that most of the sculptures will be melted. I guess now I have seen pictures of what they did look like!
Fun!! You guys always seem to do a lot of fun things. I love your blog.
Is Victor losing more weight??
We were planning on going the same weekend and had a cabin all set up until we had a death in our family. I know we would of ran into each other. Next year I guess?
That looks way cool. My kids would love it! I bet I would freeze to death though..I'm a sissy.
That is pretty cool! I love the castle too, how long does it take them to do a sculpture? I wish I had some sort of creative talent.
We have been thinking about Costa Rica too and considering going this winter but tickets to Belize were stinking cheap. So maybe next year. The planning for the trip has been fun, but now we are getting our immunizations updated and taking pills for Malaria & Typhoid. Ugh
I think you need to put a helmet on Conner. Poor boy, it is always his head, glad he has a tough one. It looks like so much fun. I am glad you made it up this winter.
