The First Lego League was holding a regional competition at the university, so we headed over to watch. With the recent Lego fascination in our house the kids had a great time watching the teams work with their robots. Some of them were very...intense, but what a fun event to watch. We'll have to see if we can get a team started at the kids' school.
The annual cardboard-box sledding competition took place at our favorite sledding hill one Saturday so we stopped by to watch for a while. Haley and Jake got a kick out of all the creative sleds and I'm pretty sure we'll be competing next year. Who's in?
When you don't want to get all bundled up to go play in the snow, why not bring some inside? As part of a winter craft project we had some pans full of snow and the kids thought it was lots of fun to play with it inside. Who knew?
Winter really is lovely and peaceful here, especially at sunrise. But we're looking forward to summer sunrises too.
