What could be better than boys, sticks, and thin ice? I was tempted to let them fall through, as it was only inches deep, but I was afraid that they would then assume if you fell through the ice it was no big deal.
The lake was surrounded by a ring of mud. GP got stuck and had to be winched out. CP lost a shoe in the mud. Needless to say, JP was thrilled when we returned covered in mud. Southeast Nebraska has no shortage of mud. It is everywhere!
We saw two bald eagles out on the ice in the middle of the lake and two muskrats swimming in some open water near shore.
Glory be to the digital camera!! CP really got into taking pictures at the zoo. By the end of the day he was clicking off some very nice photos. I think the time has come to get CP his own camera.
Lincoln now has two skating rinks in addition to the museum of roller skating. This is the old one. It's fun and a good workout. CP finally got out and tried the Limbo. My favorite is doing the Hoky-Poky, although this time I fell flat on my face while turning myself around.
CP works on his Pinewood Derby car. We scanned a Hot Wheels car, stretched in photoshop so that it fit the block of wood, and then carved it out on the scroll saw. Race day: 1/27/07.
CP shows off his new TBF Avenger. We built it light and it's a great flyer.
The Avenger takes flight!
CP has been wanting a Japanese Zero for a long time, and I found a nice 1/16 scale model in the new Woodstock hobby shop over thanksgiving. He painted the entire thing and is quite proud of his work. We finished it last night, and he has not put it down since.
