Snow day fun

We had a snow day last Thursday (shocking, right?!), so we went bowling.  Calvin loved it!

DOGSLED RACE

 Today we went to Tower to watch part of the Wolftrack Classic sled dog race.  The 60 mile race started in Ely, had a checkpoint in Tower, and finished in Cook.  We saw the 10-dog teams at the checkpoint in Tower, and the 6-dog teams finished in Tower.  It was a cold day, but it was fun to see. 

 


One of the teams needed someone to "hook" the dogs, so they asked Kyle to help them.  He stood on a hook to keep the dogs from running while they give the dogs a snack and take injured dogs off the trail.  Kyle said there was one injured dog riding on the sled. 




  
Here are pictures of some of our little winter visitors.  A red-bellied woodpecker, pileated woodpecker and baby deer. 






And what's cuter than a kid in snow pants!

Valentine's Day

David planned a surprise date for us on Valentine's Day.  We went down to this art center called Matter Creative Center and took a painting class!  The canvases were white and they taught us step by step how to make this neat painting.  We each painted a side.  It's now hanging above our piano.  They also offer pottery painting and building with Legos.  We're definitely going back!

Birthday in LA

We went up to Griffith Observatory in LA for my birthday.  It's just across a valley from the Hollywood sign.  Felicity thought she should dress the part :)
 You can see the LA skyline in the distance.



 A few other random pictures...the cousins!

 And some happy baby pictures!

Funday Sunday!

Finally got these pictures to download.  Ice Fest was down at the River Museum a couple weeks ago.  There's a giant squid in that aquarium.  You can see it sleeping.
 
Watching the fishies and sharks and sting rays.
 Playing in the water table.
 Can you find us?  Getting ready to have story time with Clifford.
 This is Dan.  He's the host on Iowa Public Television.  I think Calvin had some stranger danger.
 Clifford!
 Right outside the turtle exhibit.
