Ice Breaker

It is Ice Breaker weekend in South Haven. We have all been sick this week, so a little time our of our germy house sounded great. This is a festival that we have always enjoyed, but haven't been able to go for the past couple of years due to other conflicts. There are ice sculptures, an amatur chili cookoff, and a professional chili cookoff. We LOVE the professional one. Local restaurants prepare and serve free samples of their chili in an effort to win the annual trophy. You walk around town, eat, and judge the samples. It is a lot of fun and a great way to spend a little time outdoors.
I explained the concept of the ice sculptures to Thomas this morning. He was excited. Power tools and ice; he couldn't wait to go! He even brought along his chainsaw in case anyone needed help. In true Putman fashion (Kathy's brother), Dave let Thomas help out with his sculpture. He was pretty proud of himself. Yes, he even brought along his safety glasses.
