Illumination – brrrrrr!

Upon learning that it would be right around 4 degrees for our annual trip to the arboretum for their outdoors light show, Eric spent the morning using a pattern from the Internet, scrap fleece, and our serger to craft bella klava style hoods for us to wear. Here is Ezri modeling hers in the warmth of our home.

Ezri testing her outfit’s warmth in our driveway before heading out. She’s brandishing an icicle.

Very few photos were taken outside, thick gloves and cameras don’t play nicely together. But here are the kids hugging the tree that changes lighted colors when you squeeze it. Ivan enjoyed hunting for the “Glowman” a lighted snowman along the path that earned him a glow stick when he told the folks inside where we’d seen it.

Here we are back inside at the visitors’ center. We ate some chocolate and played some Yeti in Spaghetti.

That’s Meghan the friend who accompanied us. I assume you can now pick her out of any line-up.
