Monday was a teacher work day and the kids didn't have school. Becky and Andrea took Helen, Gibson and Eddy hiking. We did a good job avoiding the mud.
Eddy came to our house after the hike and we made suckers together. Sarah sent us the supplies. It was our first time making suckers and they taste slightly burnt. The kids eat them anyway.
We woke up Tuesday morning to snow. The schools started 2 hours late to give the snow a chance to melt. Gibson, Helen and Abe somehow scraped together enough snow to make a snowman.
We're thankful for the 2 hour late start because the snow was gone before the kids got home from school. If they went to school on time, they'd miss playing in the snow. Here's a close up of their snowman.
Helen and Sofi made some crayon art. They unwrapped crayons and hot glued them to the top of a blank canvas. They added a picture, then used a hair dryer to melt the crayons around the picture.
Here they are with the finished canvasses. Sofi's has a picture of a couple under an umbrella. Helen's has a picture of a bird and a quote by Salvador Dali, "Intelligence without ambition is a bird without wings." Helen gave her artwork to her art teacher at school.
Brandan took Abe, Helen, Gibson, Camden and Eddy to Snowcapades on Saturday. Snowcapades mixes sledding and other outdoor winter activities. This is a photo of Gib and Eddy snowshoeing.
Here are Helen and Eddy.
This is Abe going down a sled run. Snowcapades requires the kids to wear helmets when sledding. It's a good idea-- the kids had some spectacular wipeouts.

That crayon art looks great. Do you rent snowshoes for the kids or do you have your own?
