Today Rexburg hosted its annual Snow Fest and we were there! The park is a little over a half mile from our house, so we bundled up and walked over. We were all hot by the time we got there though. It was 35 degrees today and after surviving -17 degree weather last week, we were all enjoying the heat wave! The park has a natural hill on one side and the city blocked off the road and piled even more snow up on the street to make the sledding run nice and long. We went there first. The kids had a blast sledding! Due to the warmer weather we had some melting so the snow was very wet. I am glad the kids have good snow gear! The next big event was the Polar Plunge. The city put in a temporary pool of water which they filled with icy water and then about 40 brave souls took the plunge. Guess who two of those brave souls were? None other than Richard and John! After being lifted on a platform and jumping in, they got 2 minutes in the hot tub to warm back up! I will post their video in the next post, be sure to see it, its fun! The little kids did some treasure hunting in a huge pile of snow. They got to search for gold coins and then exchange them for prizes. We hit the hot cocoa pavilion a few times. The kids did the snow ball toss and snow graffiti where they got to build a snow sculpture and then paint it with spray bottles filled with water and food coloring. We ended the day with a wagon ride around the park and a little more sledding, then we headed home! It was a great way to spend the day!
