FACEOFF!

There's a lot of catching up to do here, but let's start off with Wayne's end of the season (Thank GOD!!!) hockey "jamboree" yesterday in Lyndonville. The coaches broke the kids up into teams and they had a game against each other.
Wayne is # 10. These pictures are not great. The kids were moving too fast, the lighting was bad, and I was shooting through plexiglass.

Below, Wayne is on the far right.

The game ended in a tie, 7-7.

After the kids game, there was another game - kids against parents. There's Wes in the blue jacket and Wayne behind him. I was really glad that Wes did not bowl over all the little kids.

Later in the afternoon, Cedric came over and helped clear off the pond for some more skating. Wes gives Heather a ride in the snow shovel thingy.

Cole's skating has greatly improved since the video I posted a couple of months ago, but this is still his specialty - laying around on the ice or in the snowbanks.

Julie has lots of pictures to post on her own blog, so I'll leave most of that to her, but here's just a couple of shots to show that she and Estelle were present on the ice.

A couple of days ago, Wes took Wayne and Heather out to the woods while he did some work. Wayne made a snowman.

Her Highness found her throne in her woodland kingdom.

Cole's kindergarten class took another field trip to the Catamount Arts series for children. This installment was African Dance.

I wans't sure kindergarten students would really appreciate this performance, but these guys were talented and funny, so they did a good job keeping their attention.

So that pretty much brings us up to date.

The kids are on vacation this week, so we'll see what that brings to the blog.
