Here Comes the Sun

we haven't seen the sun here for quite a while, two weeks at least. we have had day after day of what they call an inversion. it basically means gray,cloudy skies, foggy at times, very little variance in the temperature from day to night (it goes from cold to colder), and stagnant air. finally on friday we woke up and saw the sun. everyone at work commented on how much better they felt just from the sun being out. hopefully it will stick around for a while!

Date Night!

Bob and I went to Chelan for the yearly Fire and Ice Festival. Started off with fireworks at the park.

The downtown sidewalks were filled with ice sculptures created by different people or groups, these are a few of my favorites: the sun, the bear, and the penguin.






(notice the apple frozen in the center of this one)




Bob insisted I sit in the ice sculpture chair. It was nice to get out. Sometimes we don't enjoy the things that are going on right in our own town, I know I had not been to this event since I have lived here. What did you do Saturday night?





I was so excited to go out so I would actually have something to blog about. As you can tell our lives haven't been all that exciting ...
