2nd Annual Lyon Township Winterfest, 2013

Winterfest Ice Sculpture. Yes. This is the only one they had, and he was melting! Poor little fella! :) — Winterfest Ice Sculpture. Yes. This is the only one they had, and he was melting! Poor little fella! 🙂

I had it all planned out. I was going to post pictures of today’s adventures. There were going to be ice sculptures and “Walmart” sled dogs, and then, well…Michigan had its mid-January thaw. While it was cold and breezy out, we didn’t get any snow. This is Michigan. The weather changes faster around here than a teenage girl changes outfits! It can be 60°F one day and three days later, it can be 20°F or colder. That’s Michigan! The Great Lakes do strange things to our weather patterns. Around here, this is normal.

I did take pictures. They weren’t the ones I thought I’d be taking, but here they are for your viewing pleasure.

There was supposed to be an igloo village. No snow, so this one's made out of empty milk jugs. Ummm...yeah. You've got to appreciate the creativity that went into making it. :) — There was supposed to be an igloo village. No snow, so this one’s made out of empty milk jugs. Ummm…yeah.

Yes. Cross-country skiers...on the grass. Hey! The kids didn't care. ;) — Yes. Cross-country skiers…on the grass. Hey! The kiddo didn’t care. 😉

Ummm...yeah.......... They gave us a coupon, so that was nice. — Ummm…yeah……….
They gave us a coupon, very nice.

Every festival HAS to have a petting zoo!

From what I could tell, they had a nice turnout. Very successful family outing.

Have a great day!

Looks like fun even without snow 😉 our weather is just as crazy down here… I think it’s a middle of the country problem!

Maybe. Snow. No snow. We were going, regardless. 🙂

We have all kinds of weather here. Five days of rain, then snow, then sunny days. Just weird. I like that the festival happened regardless of the weather. Where there’s a will….

I’m glad they didn’t cancel. Watching kids attempt to cross-county ski across the grass…priceless! 😉
