Every winter, PIR creates a Winter Wonderland of lights. Usually, visitors drive through the light shows. This year, the show was opened up to bikes for one night only- no cars allowed. Unfortunately, bike night fell on one of the coldest nights of the year. The temperature was only in the 20s, but the wind chill made it a true arctic blast. Mom and Dad hemmed and hawed a little before finally deciding that the Barkers are tough. Everyone bundled up and headed out in to the cold on their bikes.
Before boarding her chariot aka bike trailer, Hazel shows off her winter fashion. Remind you of anyone you may have seen in A Christmas Story? The gloves and boots (and fleece socks you can't see), by the way, come from Molehill Mountain, the only company Mom has found that makes true winter clothing accessories in Hazel's size. Ten points for quality AND affordability.
The family, with the hidden Hazel, at the entrance to the light show. Mom and Dad had on all of their ski clothes. Hazel was nicely enconsed in her chariot and didn't feel a breath of wind. Some babies have all the luck. She did, however, point to lights (as best as she could with big, warm mittens on), when asked.
Once back at home, in front of the warm fire, Hazel plotted which ornaments to destroy first. So many to choose from, so little time.
