Spring break- Friday

Friday morning.

 Ben, joseph, Brecon and Connor were on the overnight campout. Cannon and Brielle were invited over for a birthday party and got to stay the rest of the day. So I took Vickie out to the north pole to do some shopping at the Santa Clause house. After we had walked around the store and met the famous guy, Ben called and said they were home and could come out and meet us for lunch at Pagoda. It worked out pretty great because we were still doing some shopping and trying to makes some room on Vickie's phone so she could take more pictures. 

Lunch was delicious... and then we were able to rest and clean up the remainder of the afternoon before the ice carving awards later that night. I was super glad that my boys were able to participate in something so unique to this area... and that it was FREE!! They were fed lunch and snacks, and had a great time with their friends. I was super impressed with the creations that they made and the details in each of their carvings. 

Brecon made an ICE BOX-- complete with bread on top, costco milk and frozen pizza inside! The main announcer mentioned how Brecon really must have been inspired by his pep-talk earlier in the week where he had mentioned to his teammate years ago that his idea of a great ice carving is a closed door refrigerator (pretty easy idea, huh?)

Connor did a great job on his flying pig! Cute little chunky guy had some plumpy back cheeks-- Connor was so proud of his creation.

After the awards and walking around the ice sculptures (I was SOOOO cold!), most of the family headed back to the community center to play games with our friends. After Cannon's "incident" earlier that evening (throwing up multiple times in different rooms) we decided to send him home with Uncle Joseph and Grandma-- which was a good idea! We had a few rounds of dice, timeline, and JUST DANCE! I sure love me a good dance party!
