Winter Fun

A couple of weeks ago, everyone had the day off work, and so we headed out for some winter fun in the western part of the state.

Colette has been doing a lot of ice skating this winter. And as much as I wanted to join in the fun, I was nursing a strained muscle in my back, so Hubby and I watched from the sidelines. What a thrill to have the ice all to yourself!

Meanwhile...pet all the friendly dogs!

And just when we thought we couldn't get any colder, some sweet soul lit a fire, deposited skewers and marshmallows, and invited us to help ourselves. Life is good! People are sweet!

Then we strolled through the campus of Dartmouth College, which was having their Winter Carnival.

The ice carving competition was in full swing...with a Star Wars theme.

And we polished off the day with hot chocolate affogato, hot sipping chocolate with a scoop of gelato, at Morano Gelato. Yum! I chose a scoop of Creme Brule gelato for mine. Buttery...chocolaty...slightly burnt crispness...amazing!
