Last winter Uncle Tim and Aunt Lynda went to this event and they talked it up so much that I figured out when the event was scheduled for 2025, blocked our calendar and made a plan for us to go. This event was nothing like what I expected it to be. It felt akin to a college tailgate - just in January. I could not believe how many people were there, how over-served everyone seemed or how much fun the kids had! I thought for sure they'd be bored or cold but I think the combo of having RoRo join us, and just getting out of the house doing something new worked for us. The girls were in a great mood and were asking if we could go back again as we walked back to our car.
I'm not convinced that this is a "must do" every single year, but we learned a lot going this year and we'd do some things differently to make it more fun if we go again. Its certainly something you organize a big group for, and, if you do it right, you can make a day out of it. The fact that it was sunny and relatively warm helped too. I opted to not bring snow pants which, in hindsight was a small mistake. I survived, but I could have been more comfortable if I had one more layer of clothes.
All in all, super interesting and a fun and different way to spend a Saturday in the winter. It got us outside and maybe the best part of it was that we got to spend the day with Chris and Ro! It was so fun to have them meet us out there.
