Good Ol' McCall

Our first mini road trip with Ally and Sierra to McCall for the Ice Festival made for a memorable time. The carnival itself was a disappointment but the girls seemed to have fun walking about, playing in the snow, listening to a live band, eating corn dogs over the frozen lake, and oohing and awing over the fireworks that wrapped up the festival. 

I was also reminded of how much I admire moms. We had some close calls with bathroom accidents but with some encouragement to " keep holding, we're almost there! We're here, let's go! Oh wait, someone is in the restroom. Ok, you're doing great. Keep holding. We're almost in!" and then lots of praises for how impressed I was with how well it was held until reaching a restroom, as a HUGE sigh of relief rushed over me. 

Sierra wanted to pose as an attacking bear.

Good Times!
