ligonier ice fest

.

..

A beautiful, sunny day spent in Ligonier. . . Ethan's first Ice Fest. . .

.

First stop: Spaghetti Dinner at the Town Hall. . . the warmer weather brought out lots of people. . .so we waited in line a bit. . .but it was so worth it. Love the Spaghetti fundraiser. . .Sam and I look forward to it every year.

.

While we waited, Darth Vadar rode around on a mini (go cart-like) tie fighter. . .
.

.
And all the Cars parked. . .and drove. . .and parked some more. . .

.

..
Then we were off to stroll around the Diamond. . .

.

.

watching the skills of the ice carvers (how you can use a chainsaw to make such delicate cuts. . .amazing) and enjoying the carvings already on display.

.

Another treasured Zeli tradition. So exciting to have our whole not-so-little family together.
