Mid-Winter Break

The year I had Carter they started a Mid-Winter Break in February.  It is really nice...until you are in the last week of school and then think about how you could be done!

We didn't do much.  Stayed in town and just hung out.

The first weekend Niles and I went to a music festival at local brewery called Crazy Mountain.  They called it Winter Wondergrass.  Perfect name for a Bluegrass festival is the dead of winter!  It was 2 days of music.  Niles was there pretty much the whole time and I came up with our friends Beth and Dave later in the day after leaving Carter and Brynn with a sitter.  It was outside and really, really cold!  The first night I thought I was going to die of frost bite.  The second night I put more layers on than thought possible.  I was quite toasty...well as toasty as you can be standing in 20 degrees for 5 hours:)  The second night it started dumping snow.  It was very cool and also a "Why are all these people standing out in the middle of a blizzard?" moment.

I tried to capture the snow with my phone...doesn't quite give it justice, but you get the point.

 We rode his bike before it started snowing like crazy.  He mainly wanted to run into things or over things.

 He doesn't quite get that bikes aren't meant for snow, imagine the next 3 in slomo:)

Carter and Humphrey:(
