We have gone every other year for the last 5 years and they always have so much fun exploring and sliding down the ice. This is Bryns preschool picture from last year. It was so cute, she loves watching what other people are doing, up close and personal.

Wife, mother, and attorney by day, writer, knitter, weaver, and craft enthusiast by night. Necessity is the mother of invention, right? Well, I have come across a few hacks with my weaving lately. When we moved her into the studio, we put felt on her feet to prevent her from scratching the wood floors. As I have been weaving on her, I noticed she slid forward as I beat.
