Today was our first Whitefish Winter Carnival experience. It was also the 50 year anniversary of the tradition. There are many events going on throughout the weekend. We picked out 2 which took up most of the day. We started off watching the "Penguin Plunge" in Whitefish Lake. People jump in a hole cut in the ice, then swim back to shore, & run out to hot tubs waiting on the beach. Brrrr! Then we decided to be in the parade rather than watch it. So we loaded up in The Great Norhtern Brewery bus with Marcus & Audrey. Marcus drove, Stephan manned the blow horn, Ravenna napped, & Hudson, Audrey & I handed out bottle caps for 5o cents off pints at "The Brewery". It was a hoot! We later saw Steven, Grace & girls, and more family afterwards at the brewery. Downtown Whitefish was packed, the sun was shining, it was a gorgeous day & much fun!

Too much fun, needed to recharge.
Audrey & Marcus, notice all the taps on the outside of the trailer.
