Mindless musings in Minnesota

Here's our latest update ... we just seem to keep busy with 'stuff'.

Ben got a new bicycle & has really been developing his riding skills. It was on sale at Target & the morning we went to get it was very cold - windy & snowy. And yes, it was just a couple of weeks ago ...

He rode it home from the store in spite of the cold wind blowing. He's preparing for the 8 mile 4th grade bike trip at the end of the school year.

John was invited to participate in school districts "Bridge to Knowledge". They have a physics section & then get to choose a couple of classes to take. John got to take a class on geocaching & then another one at the Observatory. His middle school has an observatory ( JMSObsevatory)- the largest one in Minnesota. He enjoyed both classes, but has decided he really enjoys geocaching & has asked for a handheld GPS for his birthday.

One weekend Ben decided to come up with a fun activity for both of them. He drug all the pillows & blankets into the living room & decided to go sumo wrestling. As you can see, fun was had by all (at least until they had to clean up all the blankets!)

Other news - Ben learned magic tricks one night at scouts & came home & put on a magic show for John & I.
