Fire & Ice Festival

Alayna was in town this weekend from Texas and we planned a girls night! Brandon had to work at Lance's shop so Avery was lucky enough to hang out with Grandma Vicki and Grandpa Dave! They decided to take her to the Plymouth Fire & Ice Festival! Since Katie only lives a mine from the festival and that's where we were all meeting I decided to join in the fun for a little bit before meeting my fiends for dinner! I am so happy I went! This will definitely be something we go to every year!

The whole event is FREE! And it was super organized, really well planned and a TON of fun!

We found a place to park and headed right over to the dog sled rides! The line was already long when we got there (a few minutes before the event actually started) but the line went quickly and Avery loved it!

Next, Grandpa helped her tie up her new skates! She has been dying to go ice skating all winter but he weather has either been way too cold, or the lakes have been slush. This was the perfect weather to be outside, and although she had no idea what she was getting herself into, she was totally pumped to try on her new skates from Andy & Jenna!

She did pretty good for her first time. She was able to stand up fairly well and sort of walk across the ice with a little help! She also had fun making "ice angels" when she fell!

There were come characters walking around from some popular movies...

(a Minion from Despicable Me)

(Olaf from Frozen)

They had a great day ice fishing, skating, and playing outside together! 

And the next week, we were surprised to see that Avery had made it in the Plymouth News Paper!
