Now that we have some good snow we are trying to take advantage of it! The kids love being pulled around the yard on the snowmobiles. We made it to the Fire and Ice Festival in Farmington and all of the kids got a dog sled ride around the fields, we did a treasure hunt with the reward of free movie tickets for the kids, and had some fun jumping from the hay.
At the end of the week I stumbled upon a really cool opportunity we took advantage of at the last minute. There was a group called "The Femmes of Rock" who were hosting a free educational workshop for students. They were a group of 4 women who play rock songs on their electric violins. It was really impressive to see and hear them talk about their journey. This was all despite the fact that the power went out twice when a car hit a telephone pole down the street. Electricity is pretty important for them to be able to play their instruments so that was a bit disappointing, but the kids got to hear a bit and learned a lot from them.
