Winter Carnival

Every year the Schlitz Audubon Nature Center hosts a Winter Carnival.

 Anna and Elsa were in attendance! (and really good at their character portrayal, but I'll have to compare to the cast members at Disney World)

 Anna and Elsa greeted everyone at the main building, then we got into some nature stuff: saw an owl, pet a turtle, and decorated tree cookies.

 Outside they had horse-drawn sleigh rides, ice bowling,..

 and a bonfire for toasting marshmallows.

Lydia was trying to eat fast because she was cold,

but it can be tricky to eat s'mores with mittens on!

Winter is cold but it's still an awesome season worth getting out into and celebrating! Abigail particularly enjoyed sliding on the icy trails.
