Navy Pier Snow Days 2011






In the spirit of enjoying, and not wishing away, winter, we walked over to Navy Pier on Sunday for their Snow Days. We especially enjoyed the huskies and the sled dogs demos. These huskies were all rescued from local animal shelters and trained to pull sleds. But, they (as we all are) were a work in progress. At one point, as the sled rounded the bend, the lead dog got distracted by a great dane onlooker and pulled hard left to say hi. An abrupt stop to say the least! On the other side of the exhibit were the snow sculptures. Teams from all over the world (China and Mexico were two countries represented) arrived to carve 10x6x6 blocks of snow, created by blowing articfical snow into a giant mold. Really fun to tour and see up close the amazing details!What a fun way to enjoy the winter day!
