Pancakes, Skating, and Waffles!!

A quick week with Monday as Martin Luther King Jr Day, Amy away for work Tuesday through Friday, and weekend activities.  We hope everyone is staying healthy and getting outside!!

On Martin Luther King Jr Day, we used the day to recharge and get ready for the week.  Ayson wanted to make waffles but he ended up making pancakes instead (with the goal of making waffles over the weekend).

Thanks for making breakfast, Ayson!!

On Tuesday, Amy traveled to West Virginia to attend a course at the National Conservation Training Center (NCTC).  There is an amazing new addition to NCTC - a Totem Pole created by the House of Tears Carvers of the Lummi Nation. The Sacred Sites Totem Pole was transported from the state of Washington to Washington, D.C. on a two-week journey they named the “Red Road to D.C."  One of the stops along the journey included the Straits of Mackinac, Michigan.

On Saturday, Addie started taking skating lessons again at Sunnycrest ice rink!

That evening, we all went skating at the Onondaga Nation ice rink with friends and Addie had fun skating with friends and watching the Zamboni resurface the ice.  The kids and Adam thought the ice was much nicer (slipperier) than Sunnycrest (the Nation has a newer rink and building).

On Sunday, we had waffles!!  Thanks, Ayson!!
