Fire & Ice Festival

After the Auto Show, we zipped to downtown Rochester to see the Fire & Ice Festival.
Our first year with an ice tree!

Fireworks and a full moon!


Ice sculptures downtown.  The Star Wars ones were the girls' favorites!





The next night, we joined our friends at Pine Knob for some night skiing.  Katie didn't want to ski, so I planned on staying in the lodge with her for the night while Chris skied with the other girls.  But he got tired after a few hrs, so I went out the rest of the night with them.  It was a blast, and there was barely anyone out on a Saturday night!

 





Early the next morning, Chris and Megan ran a 5K at the Fire & Ice Festival:







Not a bad time for not having run in several months!  Plus, it was pretty cold, and there was a bit of ice on the sidewalks and trails.  And, she's only ten!

New this year was an ice carving competition - live on Saturday.  We missed the event, but the finished products were very cool to see!
Tubing hill in downtown Rochester.  Here come Chris and Megan!


My little runners!

And amazing Megan had a double-header in soccer...AFTER skiing for 5+ hrs the night before, and running a 5K the same morning!  She's a rockstar!
