Michigan Tech Winter Carnival

Last weekend we ventured further up north to Houghton for winter carnival.  I used to live up there and remember going to see the ice sculptures as a kid.  My kids weren't as enthused as I was to be there but it was a rare occasion that all four of us spent the day together.  My son did like the theme (super heroes) and took more pictures than me.  We had a good time.

Eben Ice Caves

I can check a little something off my bucket list; visiting the Eben Ice Caves.  It was perfect weather for winter hiking on Saturday and the family was bored so I suggested going there.  It was a fairly easy but long hike in.  Seeing the ice was worth the journey though.  Pretty cool.

Stormy Kromer Flowers and Frozen Pipes

Stormy Kromer started making their hats with flowers long after I got mine.  So after checking them out, I figured I could make my own.  Thanks to a friend, I got my hands on some felt.

So after I attempted to thaw out the kitchen sink pipe (no work today due to temps near -30 with the wind chill) I took a break to work on my flowers.  Sorry, pictures are kind of dark.

Salt-n-Peppa

I couldn't pass this by over the weekend.  Nesting doll salt and pepper shakers on clearance.
