Skiing, Basketball, & School

These pictures are all pretty self explanatory and sum up our last month pretty well.  Noah had a few ski meets at Black Mountain and we were all happy to ski alpine when it wasn't race time. The kids all enjoyed watching the man lighting the fire with an accelerant, but at least they were smart enough to keep their distance;) Noah made special animal quesadillas for dinner one night, Audrey & Ben dressed up as a mechanic and a ghost for SnowCats, James completed his 1,000 piece Titanic puzzle, and Audrey got to check out the new costumes in the nature room at the Western Maine Play Museum. 

Clearwater Getaway 2020

We were fortunate to be able to get away for a long weekend to visit Grampy Grampy in Florida this past weekend.  We had gorgeous weather and packed a lot in in a few days!  We had ice cream, went on a pirate cruise, spent time at the beach, took an aquarium nature cruise, visited Busch Gardens, and spent time with Grampy Grampy. The kids will tell you that the best part of the whole trip was going to Georgie Boy Restaurant EVERY morning for breakfast... Ben is still talking about their breakfast sandwiches;) Thanks for having us Grampy Grampy!

Skiing and Basketball Season #2 Have Begun!

Now that Christmas is over we are in full swing with winter sports.  There won't be a whole lot to post about other than the routine of multiple trips a day to Titcomb or the Academy Hill gym.  Noah is still nordic ski racing with FAST (Farmington Area Ski Team). James, Ben, & Audrey are nordic skiing with the Bill Koch program. Ben and Audrey are taking alpine lessons with UMF's SnowCats program. Finally, James and Noah are playing basketball through the Wilton rec. department. All of this is on top of (hopefully) some alpine/nordic skiing on our "down time". Most of these activities will last until the beginning of March, so I guess this will be our life for the next few months:)

James did also get the opportunity to rock climb with his friend Mason this past weekend.  James would probably tell you that his biggest strength is his climbing ability so he was a pretty happy kid.
