We decided to do something out of the ordinary with the kids today. Old Colorado City was having their 2nd Annual Ice Festival so we decided to give it a try. Needless to say we, or at least my hubby and I were quite dissapointed. Now the kids on the other hand thought it was pretty cool. I believe that in total there were only 3 larger sculptures, a slide/castle, throne and a bowling lane. And there were probably another 5 smaller sculptures. We did get to see the sculptor put some finishing touches or retouches onto the castle and that was definently interesting. But the stores in OCC were all closed, most didn't open until noon or later, so there really wasn't much else to do down there. All in all I suppose it was a success since the kids enjoyed themselves, but I definently can't say that we will be returning next year.
I just loved Monkey #2's facial expression in this one.. and Monkey #3's pose too!
After we finished at the festival we decided to take my oldest to see a sculpture that a family friend had a hand in creating and installing in OCC. Her name was Dorothy Atlee and she was a neighbor and good friend of my Inlaws. He had a special bond with Ms. Dorothy and misses her very much.
