Our Weekend

This weekend was the Fire and Ice Festival here in Chelan.  Friday we went around and looked at a few of the ice sculptures.  Good thing we did, because by that evening most of them had melted!!  Saturday we took some time and went "ice skating".  No ice because of the warm weather.  Watched the slush sculptors (no ice because of the warm weather).  Listened to some musicians performing children's music.  Watched the parade in the rain.   Stood around the big huge bonfire while some crazies (I used to be one of them) jumped into the lake.  And then watched the awesome firework show peeking out from under our hoods.  Was fun!  Then we took off for Seattle to see Carolyn off (pictures to follow) and go to IKEA (see previous post).  Was a great weekend!  Now, we have a busy work week and another fun weekend coming up!  It feels good to get out and go and be somewhat social!  We had such a long lapse while we were building our house!  Interior doors are coming today, so you can use the restroom in private as soon as Jason gets them installed!  Yippee!!
Thanks for the new Aleph Bet shirts, Lisa!  That's what Wade calls them.  "I'm wearing my Aleph Bet shirt!!!"

He looked so big drinking his smoothie!!!  Where has my baby gone?

Another Big boy!

When we saw this ice chair on Friday we could sit on it.  By Saturday the arms were falling off and it was deemed unsafe to sit on.

Ice sculptors really had a time limit!  Get it done before it melts!

First time ice skating.  On no ice.  Boards covered with slush works too!

Big bonfire from everyone's donated Christmas trees.

About to head down to swim at the hotel.
