To celebrate President's Day,
the girls school hosted a
President's Day Festival.
And since Samuel had the day off,
we were both able to help out!
Our booth?
President's Trivia!
Sounds less exciting compared to
the "Cake Walk" or "Race to The White House",
but being the loudmouths that we are
we cajoled, encouraged, and challenged
kids to come our way!
By the days end,
and with throats soar,
we,
and hopefully the kids,
had learned some amazing facts about our Presidents!
For instance,
do you know who
"The Sage of Mount Vernon" is?
...
The following Monday,
with the kids out of school,
and Samuel home from work,
we made our every-other-year-trek
up to the snow!
We went higher up then normal,
a natural consequence of the
non-winter weather we've been having thus far,
and brought up
ol' fashioned baking sheet pans
for sledding.
Note:
The pans don't work very well...
that is,
unless you like spinning uncontrollable
and inevitable falling off halfway down!
I,
personally,
loved it!
No one else would try!
...
No trip is complete without a picnic!
Spicy Thai Chicken, Zucchini, & Potato Soup
Chocolate Banana Muffins
&
Hot Chocolate & Marshies
We were famished!
Happy
El Dia de Los Presidentes
to you too!
