McCall 2009

We went to McCall again this year for the Winter Festival and had tons of fun! We went with two other families and decided to bring our kids this year. They loved it. We took them to see the elk, looked at the snow sculptures and went snow tubing. Kaden had never been sledding down a hill before (aren't I an evil mother?) and he loved it. The hill was pretty big but he insisted on going down by himself. They even spun him around before they pushed him down and he was still laughing at the bottom. We had a blast! Jess and I decided the kids made it that much better!

This was the biggest snow sculpture... the theme for the year was Camelot I think... lots of castles.


Jesse said this tree was smiling before me and Tami came along!




This was the sculpture at our hotel.


Hey handsome! The elk come and literally eat the hay that you are sitting on. The guide said they like the warm hay better.


"Mom, do you have a tissue?" were the words I heard and this is what I saw when I turned around! Yes, an elk sneezed on Kaden's face! Gross! Luckily I did have a tissue!


Ellie got a cold the day we left town and was so groggy the whole day! She took three naps, including one while we were on the sleigh with the elk. Nick put hand warmers in her hat to keep her face warm.
