| Snapshot Summary, February 3-12 Mid-Year Winter Vacation |
These are a few of my favorite things this week...
 |
| 3 Friday Roller Skating with Friends |
 |
| 4 Saturday Provisions and Preparations for the week. |
 |
| 5 Sunday B & O Railroad Museum |
While they were there, they also got to see a Conestoga Wagon...
and got to see how large the wheels were!
 |
| 6 Monday AM We colored bandannas with fabric markers... |
and we baked.
PM
We visited with very good friends and enjoyed dinner out.
 |
| 7 Tuesday Washington, DC |
Alex, James, Quentin and Steven went to Smithsonian's Air and Space Museum...
and then met the rest of us at Smithsonian's Museum of Natural History to check out some of the exhibits like holding a Madagascar Hissing Roach at the Insect Zoo.
The high point was going in the Butterfly Pavilion where a butterfly landed on Sam's forehead and stayed for quite a while, much to the delight of everyone there. (More photos here.)
Even the walks to and fro were wonderful, with all the lovely architectural beauty.
 |
| 8 Wednesday At Home Time to rest, play, pretend and explore. I bought this packet of tickets, postcards and such in the scrapbooking section because I thought it would be good fuel for imagination. It was. |
We got out the clay, and our favorite memories from the museum, like this Ibis from the Egyptian tomb wing, took form.
Others made whimsical fish, from the idea at Scraps of Starlight, with lots of textures.
The day ended with a sundae bar.

Thursday
Bowling with Friends
Movie Night: Whisper of the Heart
and lots of popcorn, of course.
and lots of popcorn, of course.
A bit of snowfall on the weekend, but not enough to really play in. It has been a disappointing year in terms of snow. We all have really bad colds, and are draped in various parts of the house, watching Netflix or reading. I hope we get well soon as I was looking forward to getting back to work this week!
