Ice Storm in Wausau, WI
It’s official- winter is here for good! I feel spoiled with all of the warm weather we’ve had in the last two months- it definitely hasn’t felt like a normal Wisconsin winter yet.
But yesterday’s ice storm, which is now turning into a full-blown snowstorm, is changing that fast.
Taste n’ Glow Balloon Fest Wausau, WI Part 1: Lift Off
When I heard about the Taste N’ Glow event just outside of Wausau, I was so excited to see hot air balloons in person. I am so glad we went! It was a much bigger event than I anticipated, and I’m still in awe of the community of people it took to get this event to take off (pun intended).
Las Vegas Part 1
Instead, we went to Red Rock Casino, who put on an excellent show just after dark. It was windy enough that cancellations were a concern, and you could see a few fireworks that were a little low. But overall, the fireworks were amazing! They did an awesome job, and many areas around the city were going off at the same time, so if you were up high enough, you could see fireworks in every direction!

We are officially residents of Wausau, Wisconsin!
Moving my photography business will be a challenge, but I’m exited to start capturing the beautiful landscapes of Central Wisconsin, and meeting new families who also call Wausau home!
Fire in the Way- Chetek, WI
We had just passed Chetek going Southbound on Hwy 53 when a firetruck with its lights on started merging onto the highway. I slowed down and let the firetruck go ahead of me, and then just stayed as far back as I could.
Suddenly, that cloud of smoke wasn’t in the distance- it was all around us. We literally drove straight into a fire that was spreading in the ditches and across the highway. The smoke came up so quickly, the woman in the car ahead of me almost rear-ended the truck we were following.
