fire and ice.

our favorite ice sculpture.

our favorite snow sculpture.

both can be seen on 3rd street in sturgeon bay, wisconsin. we had a lovely day, bundled from head to toe (phil with his "jammies" on under his jeans and his festival hat on his dome), strolling from carver to carver. we had a delicious burger (with a side of beer) for lunch. bunnels baby-sat sophie (sophie believes that she watched bunnels), and reported all good remarks...except - she was just about at her wits end with the easy listening ditties that sophie likes to unwind to while her parents are out. bunnels prefers neko case and jolie holland - music she can eat a carrot to. but...

the festival was incredibly charming, as was the downtown area of sturgeon bay. just what these city folks needed for the weekend.
