When you live in Wisconsin, you embrace the winter. You celebrate it and attempt to enjoy the ice, snow, sleet, and gray skies. Thankfully, in Whitewater, they do a great job every February helping that winter celebration with Freeze Fest. This year the boys and I participated in two events while Mike was home recuperating from a horrible flu (and resting in preparation for his recital). Colin, Ethan and I started the day with the Kiwanis pancake breakfast. They were amazed at the giant rotating griddle and the fact that so many of their friends were there too. And unlimited orange juice--what a delight! Although Ethan couldn't eat the pancakes because of his allergy, he did manage to eat eight sausages. No, I'm not making that up. The kid can pack away some sausage when he wants to. We had a grand time. Later that afternoon we loaded up the jogger and went to the library for the sled dogs. This was the second year they were able to ride around while being pulled by these amazing dogs! And one photo with the boys and their friend Isaac made it to the front page of the newspaper here. Colin thought that was fairly impressive. Next year I've promised we'll make it to the Chili Cook Off, Polar Plunge, and the Carriage Rides through town. A fun day for sure for us!
