That morning we had a fabulous pancake breakfast in support of the PTA. At first I thought the $9 price tag was a little steep, but they did it up right. There was sausage, eggs, huge pancakes, biscuits and gravy, juice, coffee, great service... it was very well done and I'm planning on returning next year.
After the race the kids had a bunch of activities - sledding, find the marshmallow in the snow, stuff like that. There were snow machine races all day and a dog pulling contest, also. Our girls participated whole-heartedly in the marshmallow find contest. Carli was so focused she threw off the glove and plunged her hand directly in the snow... and it was still below zero! She's definitely a northern girl!
We spent the rest of the night and Sunday at Big Lake. When we left Big Lake around noon it was 22 below zero! Needless to say, we didn't do much outside.
The weather is turning a bit warmer here - 15 today - which is nice. We're all looking forward to a little spring winter activity.
