This is the Best Day Ever!

Or so says Hannah several times throughout the day(and I agree). When we first moved to this town my sister introduced us to a great thing called Cabin Fever Day. This is an annual event where local businesses allow you to do activites for free. It is wonderful! It is perfect to get out of the house in the winter and do tons of fun things with your kids.

Hannah and I started our day with a dance class. Hannah of course loved it!

Next we went to a paint-your-own-pottery business. Hannah chose to paint a penguin. After about 30 layers of paint she was finished. You couldn't tell that the blob of paint was a penguin, but she had fun and that is what counts, right?!?!?
By this time we were both famished and took a break for lunch at a local diner. Hannah ordered a drink called a volcano. You drop a metal egg (containing dry ice) into a soda and it bubbles and steams. It is a fun drink and it makes me laugh to watch Hannah try to suck down the soda!

Once we had refuled we headed out for some more fun! Our next stop was a arts and crafts store were we made a tie-dye snowflake from a coffee filter.

We finished out our day at a museum and planetarium. We saw this huge mammoth and watched a video in the planetarium about planets.

It was a fun day! We are thinking that we will have to make a trip back here next year just for this day!
