Winter Fest Part 2

As you may recall, we went to a Winter Fest a few weeks ago at a local campground. They opened up for another day and we had to go back. This time we went with some friends and perhaps everyone else that was there the last time told their friends too. It was much more crowded than the last time. But we still had fun.

Brooke wanted to ride the ponies again. I went with her this time and Nathan went with Charlotte
Nathan finally got his chance to climb the wall of ice. When he came down he had a huge smile on his face. I think he enjoyed himself.

He made it all the way to the top!

Next we went to a tubing hill. The problem with this hill was that there were too many tubers and not enough tubes. And it was very steep. Brooke was only able to go down a couple times. Brooke is on top of Nathan in this picture.



We got to ride the horse drawn carriage ride again. This time we did it in the daylight which was nice so we could see what was around us and part of the campground.
While we were waiting for our carriage ride, we went out onto the frozen lake. In the background is someone ice fishing in their hut.



Nathan and our friend Shawn playing teatherball. I don't think I've played that since about 5th grade. Apparently Nathan hasn't either because I guess Shawn won??



This was the good sledding hill we found after dinner. It wasn't very crowded at all so we had our pick of the tubes. And it wasn't so steep, just long. It was hard to get a good picture of Brooke and Nathan tandem tubing since it was dark but I got one. Brooke was having a blast and was out there for about an hour. Charlotte was done being outside so we hung out in the building.
There was a pool table, Foosball table and ping pong table inside that kept us pretty entertained while we waited for everyone to be done. I tried to play pool but she kept hitting my balls with her ping pong paddle.



They also had snow shoeing, cross country skiing, ice skating, broomball, smores, and more. Brooke wanted to go ice skating but we just didn't have time. It was a fun day and we are all definitely tired. Hopefully they do it again next year!

Hi there. If you gotta live with winter weather, that is the way to do it. Oh, and Brooke is getting prettier all the time. She looks like a little model in your family pic.

That Ice wall is so awesome! I love Michigan. I tell you it is the best place to start family traditions because they have so much going on all the time. For our Family, Autumn will never be Autumn until we visit the pumpkin patch, sip cider & have donuts.

I love Michigan! I'm so jealous you are there and we are not!

Thanks for stopping by! Come back soon!
