The family braved the elements on Saturday to take in the WinterFest at Olde Mystic Village as a light snow began to fall that accumulated to nothing. There was a clam chowder taste test being put on by some of the local restaurants, so we enjoyed a couple of paper cups worth of various competing recipes.Eliza continues to enjoy shopping, as she walked around many of the stores picking up as many things as she could hold in her arms while she meandered the store. She was finally convinced to stick with just a stuffed little plush dog that she seemed particularly attached to, while Ella Grace picked up a big fat cat. They also enjoyed the Irish store, and Eliza liked the painting on one store wall of a Scandinavian viking, as she likes it when they play vikings on the Backyardigans.
The girls also got to see a live owl and what we think was a hawk, but they were actually more interested in the water pump nearby that Mommy and Daddy had never noticed before. A full set of pictures of the day can be found here.
