High on ice, fort st john

I like the ice festival.

I love the ice festival.

Do you love ice?

I really really liked the ice festival.  I know the ice festival was pretty because I was there.  I know that the ice carvings were made by people, not by a machine.  They weren’t robots they were people!  Some of those people was my Aunty Sarah and Uncle Nathan!  They won first prize and 600$ for a horse carving.

I got popcorn from of the Mayor of Dawson Creek.  I am with the mayor of Dawson Creek in the title picture.  I really really really want you to know that the Dawson Creek Mayor gave me a pin.  He also gave me a magazine.

I really liked the ice festival because there was ice slides. The next day I went to a sleigh ride. My Mamma said it was fun but I didn’t think it was so fun because I expected them to go fast but they didn’t.  I expected it to be different but I still liked it.

I really really really want you to know about my journey at the ice festival.

Bye

    I sure enjoyed your enthusiasm about the ice carnival! The carvings are so shiny and sparkly.
