Sledding!


2025-02-23


We finally got snow and decent weather for sledding this week! So we went sledding. I also did school with Mom and Dad. Dad and I finished reading Where the Red Fern Grows - that was a tough ending. I finished reading The WOlves of Willoughby Chase on my own, and started Flora and Ulysses. For movies we watched Inherit the Wind, which was really good and unfortunately very relevant again.

I also did some LEGO building.

Working on a scene to use the new highwaymen minifigures I bought last week.

Here it is.

And from another angle.

This was done a few weeks ago, with Plo Kloon and the Wolfpack encountering Asajj Ventress and some droids.

Otherwise, I spent a lot of my free time playing with Axis and Allies, setting up differnt battle scenarios while I listened to the Great Battles of American History podcast.

One of the many, many different set-ups I laid out. I even took notes on what I was doing.

And finally, since it was so cold the past week, the snow had not melted. When the temperature went up for the weekend, it was time to get out the sleds! We met Jonathan, Nick, and Eva at the park to enjoy some winter fun!

With Eva at the top of the hill.

Even the moms were having fun.

As mentioned last week, we did an interview with Great-grandma Muriel. Dad finally edited it, and broke it into four parts. Enjoy!

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Part 4

And if that wasn't enough for you, you can go listen to the interview we did with Great-grandpa Les on Veteran's Day in 2020.

That's all for this week! Take care!
