Ice Festival Cheyenne, WY

We heard about this awesome Ice Festival that Cheyenne does. It is their 5th annual and FREE! It is put on by WYO Parks to get kids and parents outdoors and in the snow! FAMILY TIME!! It was awesome they had a kiddie hill, a large mean (we'll get to that) hill, ice carving, ice slides, archery, old school army gear, carriage ride. It was just AWESOME! We also got to have Kyle and Staci from Denver with us for the first little bit of sledding! It was great!

Getting ready at home and ready to go!

 FINALLY!

They had tunnels made so the kids sled through them. That was MaKynzee's favorite part!

Laughin' at the good ride! Lukas fell off but managed to hang on!

Bowen took turns riding with Lukas and Kynzee!

The BIG Mean Hill
Ok it isn't mean...just to me! The kids loved the long ride and the speed!

Lukas first and LOVED IT!

MaKynzee even managed to smile the WHOLE way!

Mom with Bowen...the look is Oh, WOW we are going much faster than I thought we would but still enjoying the ride!

Then HOLY CRAP this is NOT good...I see the ice at the bottom and realize there WILL be impact!

And Bowen cried for both of us! My right side felt full impact of the ice chunk but Bowen just got snow sprayed and he did NOT like that!

Off for a nice slow ice free carriage ride around the capital!

Ahhh, mi amor!

Then we went over to the old army displays where they were firing off canons, you could try archery and suit up with the big guns!
Lukas LOVED the guns. 

 MaKynzee kept saying pow-pow! 

Dad had to assist with archery!

MaKynzee looked good but never actually pulled back so dad did it for her so of course she hit the target and that made Lukas mad! Too bad he couldn't see who was really shooting!

 It was a picture perfect Saturday all together! Unfortunately we had to go home early as little man was cold and tired but it was so much fun and we will definitely go next year!

You know I am not often envious of other people's snowy winters, but for a moment I wished we had an ice festival. It looks super fun!
