We had our First Lego League scrimmage today. It was just the robot game. Our team did VERY well. We ended up second by 1 point. The kids really enjoyed it.
On Saturday, Bruce and I (and Jax and Lexi) hiked up to the f tree. On the way up, there was more snow than I expected, so it was one step at a time, so Bruce lead the way. The way down was pretty much straight down stepping through the snow. At the top, we were in a cloud, so we couldn’t see much at all.
Also included in this album are pictures of Jax digging in the snow. I am trying out picasa web. If you click on the picture above, you get the picasa web stuff. If you want the old stuff click here.
As I was falling asleep last night, I saw this bug, a Jerusalem cricket, running across the floor. Being the human being that I am, I put a box over it. When the box started to move, I put something heavy on it. Well, I forgot about the box and when the kids went downstairs they uncovered the bug much to their surprise.
Pokie got herself a new kayak. It is an Eddyline Fathom. It is a sea kayak as opposed to our other kayaks that are simple recreational tandems. Much nimbler and faster. Now she just has to get better so that she isn’t the limiting factor. Sam was my photographer.
