Day 31: Weeeeeeeeeee...

You can't see her, but Big wee one is squished between Daddy and Little wee one. She was nervous about going down the slide, but I really think it was the crowd of people standing around that really made her nervous. Little wee one had no problem hitting the slide by herself...being the kids of the coordinator, they don't get to enjoy the fun like everyone else, so we hit the slide and checked out the ice today. Daddy's lax team helped man the slide and pick up trash during IceFest 2010...great team work by everyone!

Day 30: HOT, HOT, HOT!

This committee is so amazing! We all work so well together and we have such a good time! This year's chili cook-off was held under a huge tent, with live music and lots of enthusiastic chili cookers. We even had a large turn-out for the hot pepper eating contest! Fourteen entries and only one could eat all 6 (well....5 and 3/4's) peppers.

Day 29: Throne

Another full day packed with ice, cold and fun! Cold does not describe the bone-chilling wind that was whipping around Chambersburg on Thursday and Friday....brrrrrrr!

Day 28: Ribbon Cutting

Here they sit, sipping the best hot chocolate in town, waiting for the official ribbon cutting ceremony to start for IceFest 2010. Big wee one thought it was, "So boring.", but enjoyed the cake that followed.

Day 27: Ice is flying!

IceFest 2010 carving begins today with the building and sculpting of the 40 ft. ice slide. This day also begins my crazy work schedule and trailing of that man there, Ernie the ice master. Exhaustion and a lot of fun are about to begin!

Day 26: Speaking

My dad was approached by a women's group to come speak about his winery. He asked if I would do it for him and I said, "Sure!" If you know me, you know that I have no problems being in front of people. At all. This particular evening was wonderful! Women networking with women, drinking wine, listening to me (try to) be funny, eating chocolate...a nice night and I'll be sure to go again!

Day 25: Hugs

I walked in the room and Big wee one was reading Little wee one ni-night stories, and then she said, "Ok, Little wee one, it's time for bed. Go crawl in bed and I'll tuck you in okaaaayyyy." Gee, I love these two!
