Today we ventured up to Lake George for their annual Winter Carnival. We've been in the past, and while we've never stayed the whole day, the fireworks are definitely worth going up for, primarily because the snow muffles the noise and we don't have to worry about hunting for the earmuffs! All the kids activities run 12-3 and we didn't arrive until 3:30. We were able to see the parade, which SlimJim loved, comprised mostly of trucks, firetrucks and more trucks. We ventured out on the ice and slid on the slippery spots. The kids were having sliding contests and even Daddy and I were enjoying ourselves until the loudspeaker barked that the ice wasn't safe. We booked it to shore with 90% of the other ice walkers and proceeded to walk around a bit on solid ground. The kids burnt some marshmallows, saw the bonfire, and waited anxiously for the fireworks while complaining of being cold.
They were worth the wait, but my plan for next year is to do the winter carnival activities one weekend, and go just for the fireworks another.
