McCall Winter Carnival 10'

We headed up to the cabin for yet another year to celebrate the McCall Winter Carnival.  We had a wonderful time filled with family, friends, a late night, Rock Band party, a Parade, snow fun and much more

The parents deep in a game of Settlers.  It has been such a long time since I have played this game I forgot how much I love it

Allie and Cam having an indoor picnic on the sled while we were in the midst of our game.  I think it was around 11:00 p.m. at this point.  The kids had busted out food, measuring utensils, etc. and were staying busy while we played away

And they continued hauling out bowls, cups, spatulas.  Oh what fun!  Distracted parents, food, late night= LUCKY KIDS

We woke up and got our groove going with a little Rock Band

Here is the band:  Katie and Kelly on guitar, Aaron on drums, and me on the microphone.  The Histand's drove up on Saturday and joined us for the day.  We were so glad to have them join us for all of our adventures on Saturday.  

The kids waiting for the parade to begin and the Mardi Grass beads to begin flying

One of my favorite floats of the event was the dinosaur; a.k.a. a backhoe in disguise.  I thought it was pretty clever

The 3 three year olds on their way down the slide.  The slides were all pretty pathetic if you ask me. The slides didn't even compare to what they were like when we were kids.  I don't think you can tell, but they had to push their way in order to get down

Allie was really not impressed with these slides.  She decided to walk down the next one because she wasn't going to use a slide that didn't work

1st Place Ice Sculpture and one of my favorites:  Idaho Spuds tubing down a river :)

After we toured a small portion of the Ice Carnival we headed back to the cabin for a little fun in the snow.  The kids enjoyed being pulled on the sleds.

But most of all they loved riding and "driving" the snowmobile.  One adult would drive and all three kids would sandwich in between as they would pull the others around on sleds. What a fun weekend had by all!
