Winter time fun

Here's a few from today and the last few weeks...

Henry reading a new book all by himself with Elliot listening intently 

Family bike rides with Henry on a trailer bike and Elliot (eventually passed out) in a trailer

Enjoying variety

Preparing to and enjoying swinging and goofing off with gloves at our CSA veggie pick up spot

And, finally, finishing a "first 100 days of school" project for Henry's class

We're off to a great 2016 and hope you are too!!

Thanksgiving fun

Our week with my sister and her family was so much fun!

We spent lots of time outdoors

 And lots of time playing games

In fact Henry and Kaylin played tons of chess! Henry is in chess club at school and had fun teaching Kaylin who was an amazingly fast learner.

We also had fun at Busch Gardens Christmas Town where all the kids loved the rides

And the light sabers they got at the end.

And Elliot enjoyed getting over his fear of cats

I have a bunch more photos on my other camera but this still captures the fun. We're all looking forward to a reunion before too long!

A great day out in the woods

A cool morning and sunshine all day meant we had to spend our vacation day out in the woods. The boys had inexhaustible energy running almost a third of the 4+ hike. 

Henry when he heard we were going hiking 

Plenty of time to throw rocks

Picnic spot

Elliot was hard to keep up with

I have no idea how Henry found this snake which, before it was scared and started to turn, was just dangling there camouflaged in the vines

He was excited

All growed up and off to school!

Henry just started kindergarten today! We've entered a new era!

At drop off

After school

At orientation last week

And a few extra
