Winter Days


This year for New Year's we decided to do something a little different and took a family trip up to one of our favorite museums in Burlington. We usually have a season pass, as they change exhibits every 6 months or so. This time they had a chemistry-type exhibit. There were lots of hands-on things to touch! It was not at all busy that day and we loved our new little tradition.







Jacob's favorite is always the water table. We could leave him here for hours.



Everyone loves the kinetic sand table.


And they got to dissect an owl pellet, a great addition to our homeschool studies! They found a ton of tiny bones inside, since the owl doesn't completely digest what he eats.




 The rest of January and February have been filled with every-day routine. Like tying Dad up during AWANA Game Time! :)



We had snow cream. We realized not many Vermonters actually do this, so it must be a mostly southern tradition, but it's really good ice cream!



And school! Jacob love, love, loves coloring with markers. He will do pages a day!



We painted Greek pots on paper bags.




We spent some time with Leah & Abi's friends Mackenzie & Natalie.








And Leah won the Homeschool Spelling Bee! At least 15-20 other kids of all ages participated and she made it all the way to the end. I was so proud!



And of course we enjoyed the pile made by the snow plow at the front of our driveway. Jacob has truly enjoyed being in the snow this year.
