McCall Winter Carnival in Idaho is a wonderful event. We were lucky to have our friends with us to check out the snow sculptures (see the owl?) . . .
And we celebrated Peggy's birthday as she started a new year of going backward in time calculations.
And the fireworks! They shot them off from the beach, and we were about 100 yards away, looking straight up in the air. We saw the rockets go off as they ignited the fireworks, and then they exploded right over us. We were showered with the fireworks debris, including what looked like baseball skins or exploded tennis balls. It was a long and spectacular fireworks show. . .
The only thing missing was Neal Diamond songs in the background. . . .
The parade was attended by millions (maybe thousands) and was a fun spectator sport as they tossed candy, t-shirts, Frisbees, mardi gras beeds, (and more) to the crowd. Christina was a magnet for all things airborne, so we're glad she came.
With the Governor's budget cuts, the BSU Marching Band replaced their trip to Disneyland with the Winter Carnival.We really enjoyed sharing some time with friends, nature, and great food!! (not sure in that order)

Looks like sooo much fun! We have never been to Winter Carnival. Your post made me want to be there! We missed you guys in church today. We had to sit in the very back, and it made me realize, once again, how lucky we are to have you guys let us cozy on in to your bench each week. Enjoy the rest of your stay in beautiful McCall!
