Today was a homeschool ski day at the local ski hill. Justin has been enthralled watching snowboarding on the Olympics lately, and he was excited to get out and try it for himself. He loved it!
Abby and I went into town to do a little shopping. Then after her nap she got to watch a little show with her best pal, Minnie!
Pinewood Derby Cubscout Race
My brother Jeff's family came out to spend President's Day weekend with us at the cabin. It was also Justin's Pinewood Derby race for Cub Scouts! He came in second for his den (Webelo/Arrow of Light) and his car was also voted the best in style! So he came home with two trophies. It was fun to have extra family there cheering him on!
Sledding fun!
Justin was excited to have extra sledding buddies with his cousins there. He, Kaitlyn, and Elissa had a lot of fun sledding down the driveway. It was a gorgeous winter day!
Strange local festival
We had heard about a local festival in a nearby town and we all ventured out to experience small town Wisconsin life. The first event was turning a bunch of kids running around a baseball field trying to be the first to capture a pig (they got to bring the pig home). I'm not a huge animal rights activist but I felt a little squeamish watching teenage boys leaping and landing on a little pig. Oof!
The next event was a chicken toss. Everybody crowded around and 3 men threw about 100 chickens off the roof and people tried to catch them. It was really...something!
