For me, growing up in Steamboat, the Winter Carnival was something I always looked forward to. I'm excited for my family to make this a tradition. During the day there are street events where horses pull kids down the main street, three legged races, obsticle courses, ring tosses and the high school marching bang...all events are with skis ON. Saturday night, which I don't have a picture of includes the Winter Sports Club kids skiing down a run in town with flares making designs on the hill, jumping through a ring of fire, and the most famous Lighted man. The lighted man has Christmas lights twisted around him and a backpack with fireworks coming out the whole time he is skiing down the hill...just a good time!!
Griffin is in there somewhere. He was so bundled to keep warm that he slept through the whole thing. Next year he'll get to enjoy it more.
Recognize this guy???
After walking around for a couple of hours we were ready for lunch. There's an amazing breakfast/lunch place we always try to get to while in town...Creek Side. Check out Griff's Smartwool hat...love it.
