Geese

 On Feb 2, Jonathan came over with 4 geese that he had shot earlier that day. He wanted to show us how to skin and gut them. It was a very cold day, but we bundled up and headed outside.

Michelle, Mary, Matthew, Hannah, Stephen & Samuel went to watch. (Dad, Karen, Robert, Christopher & Sarah were gone.) Jonathan gave each of us a goose feather. Matthew was able to help with some of it. Jonathan gave us the meat. The little boys thought it was a lot of fun and we learned a lot about geese from Jonathan.

First Snow

On Friday, January 18, we got our first snow of the year, about one inch. It was beautiful outside. Everyone was excited, and wasted no time getting outside. 

We made a snowman, but the dogs knocked it down pretty quickly.We also had quite a few snowball fights. The snow was excellent for making snowballs.

Joseph really enjoyed his first snow. His favorite thing was sledding with Robert.

Samuel liked to throw snowballs at anyone he could. He also did some sledding.

Even though the snow was melted by the next day,everyone had lots of fun in it.
