Unplanned weekend activities

I  had an interesting weekend even though had only one plan for Saturday night -- girls’ night out/birthday party of my friend and one plan for Sunday -- Super bowl party.  We started on Friday with totally unplanned dinner party for both of our parents plus my parents’ best friends.  After dinner (late dinner) and desert and some crosswords, we watched movie The tourist.   I enjoyed it.  It was light action, love story with beautiful actors in beautiful Venice.

On Saturday, I was hoping just to get some rest and go out in the evening.  So, I slept until 11am while Boris with Michelle took Mishka to the soccer.  I think I would have slept more but as usually kids woke me up.   Then Alina called and invited us to the Fire & Ice Festival on the Parker’s lake.  I couldn’t figure out what to do about that festival.  I wanted Mishka to go but I hate being cold and I didn’t want Michelle to go because that would be just a painful experience dragging her on the ice for a few hours in cold.  So, we figured out the best way out.  There was a problem with parking, so Boris with Michelle dropped us off at the Parkers lake and went shopping while Mishka and I enjoyed ice skating and the junk food, and all of the other events at the festival.  They had horse hay rides, recycle bin contest, crazy hat contest, dog Frisbee, dogrides, hockey, smorese, open fire to warm up and the whole lake of ice.

The longer we stayed, the more people were coming and more events were happening.  It was however very cold and windy.  Mishka and I put our skates on and quickly checked everything out, found our friends and continued skating.  Here is one video that I made when we just came.
 

 Boris picked us up after shopping and it was about 5:30pm.  We had to go but they were supposed to have fireworks in an hour.  It was generally a very fun event and I think we would go there next year if wouldn't forget about it.
