Snow Festival

Grandma wanted to do something on her bucket list, and so we went with her to see the Hokkaido Snow Festival.  I may not have a list, but I sure am glad she does, and that she took us along for the ride.  Everyone had a good time, and I still dream of it.  Maybe we should retire there.  I know Ed would live there right now if he could.  We had a very difficult time getting him to ever come inside to warm up.  He just wanted to play in the snow the whole time.

Here we are on the subway going to our first stop

This pretty much sums up Ed's attitude the whole time.

Amazing scupltures, eh?

Can I tell you how cold an ice slide is on one's derrière?

The girls with the girls day dolls in ICE!

Disney sculpture.

BK was pretty cold at this point and just wanted to be held.  I don't blame him, it was -9 C.

007 went out again(I wanted to too, but fell asleep putting the kids to bed).  This was what I was most looking forward to seeing.  Doesn't that look cool!

We'll definitely have to do that again some year.  For now though, we have to save up for the house stuff.  Thanks again grandma!

p.s. this trip was right afte the flu, with stomach flu flare, and near the beginning of ear infections, woo hoo!
