Catch up (again)

I'm back!   We took a short trip to see the grandparents and I got behind on my blog.   Baseball practice started yesterday so I may get more and more behind.   They just don't have wifi at the park yet!

So I thought I'd catch you up on some of the activities we've done in the last couple of weeks.    First we went to see some friends who do maple syrup in a big way.   They have a sugar shack and everything.   The picture below shows the three big pans of sap boiling.   It was pretty warm inside the shack, but hard to see for all the steam.

We also made our annual trip to the Butterfly house.   Stephen was just thrilled to get his favorite butterfly (the Red Postman) to land on him.

Deborah at her piano.   She is very diligent about practicing.   I took this picture so I could remember the time that her feet didn't touch the floor.

Aaron made a race track for the myriad of matchbox cars we have.   Then he meticulously raced most of them around and around.   There were a lot of crashes.
