1/26/18..Went to SportsZone, Beautiful 50 degree day, Went to Frankenmuth to the Snow Fest,

We went into the warming tent in Frankenmuth to see the Tigers
We heard a siren and saw a police car coming.  Then the Tiger's passed us in their bus.  They were being escorted.

Nice Cheeseburger at Snow Fest


We took this for Bill's brother Fred,  It's his company

Thought this was cool and our grandsons would like to see it

We took our picture with the covered bridge in the background!  What a beautiful sunny day!


Love this picture of Bill in his hometown

We thought the high school kids were doing a great job on their sculptures.  This is going to be a mama elephant with her baby elephant

We like Bay City High School's sculpture too

Another picture of my handsome hubby

This was all just plain and flat when we got to town.  This is what it looked like when we left.


Thought this ice sculpture was absolutely beautiful

Sloth snow sculpture and model they used

We walked at the SportsZone.  Bill walked a mile and I walked 3.  I am so glad his knee is getting better so he can start walking again.  Our fireplace insert went out last night before we went to bed, When we tried to ignite it again, it wouldn't ignite and all the wood pellets just kept falling and filling the tray and then running over.  I turned the pellet feed down and slowed the pellets from overflowing.  Still couldn't get it started.  After we got home from the SportsZone, I showed Bill a video I had on my phone of how to maintain the insert and he cleaned around the infighter.  He did a great job and it ignited after that.  He was on the phone with the Kernel Burner Store and then the fire took off so we didn't need them.  He told us to just try different settings to find out what works best for us.  It is working great without the pellets feeding so quickly and won't need cleaning so quickly.  I watched the news and they said the Tigers were going to be in the warming tent from 2 to 3 pm.  We went to Old Town Drive In and got coney dogs, fries and root beer on our way to Frankenmuth.  YUM!  When we got to Frankenmuth, it was super busy, but we got a great parking spot right away.  We saw the Tiger's Bus and went into the warming tent right away to see them.  It was packed, but we got in.  We had fun walking around and looking at all the sculptures.  The ice sculptures were melting really fast.  We went in some of the shops in town and then went to RiverPlace and went in those shops.  Our final stop was Zhender's.  We sampled a dessert, then bought a dessert to share and Bill picked out a loaf of bread.  We went to the cafe and got coffees and shared our dessert.  We walked back by Zhender's to see the row of snow sculptures we hadn't seen and then left for home. We were going to go to Hailey's basketball game on the way home, but Melissa called us to tell us Hailey wouldn't be playing.  She was throwing up and had a temp of 105.  Sure am praying for my sweet Hailey!
