I love my little town.
They just do the coolest things, right downtown less than a mile from me.
This is my town square. Well, one side of it. And when it's warmer out. I didn't take this picture, but whatever.
A couple weeks ago, at the fairgrounds, they had a chocolate festival. Yes, that's right, a FESTIVAL of CHOCOLATE. HELLO? Every year. Love this town.
This weekend is the ice festival. The streets of the square are lined with these really cool ice sculptures. The downside is, it's really damn cold outside. But, as ever so smart GWH pointed out, the ice festival wouldn't be much to look at if it were warm. So we braved the elements and went. Of course, my camera battery died right as we got to the center where all the coolest ones are. And damn cars kept getting in my way of the others. Next year I should take my rolling backdrop with me and make the kids wheel it along. Haha.
Anyway, here's a couple pictures that didn't turn out completely crappy.
Did you know that Spongebob lived in Medina? It's true. I can prove it.
And my ice angels. This went the opposite of how I planned. There were 4 of these angels. I cropped the other 2 out because my bozo older boys were over there acting like idiots. I had this vision of the 4 of them playing along and looking like little ice angels and me taking the picture. But my battery was dying, and rabid old people that were afraid they weren't going to live til the end of the day were waiting for their turn for pictures of the ice, so I had to get what I could.
Medina Ohio, where Christmas lasts through February.

That looks incredible! I think you might have increased the tourism industry of Medina by quite a bit with the words "Chocolate" and "Festival" in the same sentence. :)
