Unexpected Trip to the MOST and Weekend Camping

TONS of pictures this week because there was no school due to extreme cold temps/windchill on Thursday and the kids were able to go to the MOST with Adam AND then a weekend camping trip for the boys for Cub Scouts.  We hope everyone is happy and healthy AND warm!!!!

Ayson aced the pre-test for spelling on Monday so he did not have to take the test again on Friday: Great job, Big Guy!!


A note to Ayson from his friend Grady :)


More coding fun!


Finishing the cardboard sled in cub scouts Wednesday night.


Ayson and Jimmy




The meetings take place at the Fire Department.


There was no school on Thursday due to the extreme cold (wind chill) AND it just so happened that Ayson won tickets to the MOST that needed to be used by Thursday so Adam took the kids and they had a BLAST!!!
























Addie's class had Groundhogs Day cupcakes from Mrs Terrell on Friday :)


Ayson (and Adam) had a weekend camping event at Highland Forest  (a favorite sledding spot for us!)  We also need to explore more of the trails!!!

I went ice fishing with Ayson while Adam took Addie sledding.

Walking out on to DeRuyter Reservoir.


The ice was 15 inches thick on Saturday!!!




The boys were pretty patient and one Dad did catch a chain pickerel about 12 inches long!


Meanwhile, Addie and Adam and the HUGE sledding hill:
Hi Addie!


Sigh...
