Winter Carnival

We went to the St. Paul Winter Carnival yesterday. We started the trip with a visit to the Saintly City Cat Show. We always went when I was a kid because it was such good people watching! (And cat watching too! Many cats had silly little outfits and their cages looked like rooms with four-poster cat beds.) Sadly, we did not encounter such fun sights this time, but we enjoyed it nonetheless.


The winning cats get to wear these!

We then saw all the exceptional ice sculptures at the Winter Carnival. It is the 125th year for it, and they built a huge wall of ice. Amazing!

In a change of character, Jia wanted her picture taken in front of every sculpture!


The girls were excited about this Asian-inspired one:



The highlight of the trip was the maple taffy! People dressed in period costume from Voyageurs made the warm, sticky taffy right there on a trough of snow. Delicious!


Fun to attend the Coolest Celebration on Earth!

That looks like my kind of fun!! I am a huge cat lover. I would get a good chuckle out of seeing the winning cats in all of their attire, I am sure :) Your girls are just precious!

Those cats are too funny. Did you get a picture of the winning cat with the crown and cape? Would love to have seen that. So many neat things to do in the winter. Those ice sculptures were amazing.
