Eagle Watch/ Cincinnati Zoo bird show

The National Eagle Center in Wabasha has EagleWatch weekends all through March. Each weekend with different events and presenters. We were so excited to go see the bird show!

Library Gaming

We spent all day Saturday at the library, first having a cookie booth out front, then having fun with the Saturday gaming program. The kids played rock em sock em robots. Board games were available also. and there were three Wii's set up around the library, two on big
screens including the ever popular "Rock Band"

All the computers available for on-line gaming.

We made vanilla pudding!

and home-made ketchup.

Spent 2.5 hours outside the library selling GS cookies. It was VERY cold!

Our meager selling success is probably due to the good folks of Lake City taking pity on us!

March 2011

It has been a busy week for us! Yesterday we noticed the sap running, so we tapped a few trees around our house.

My amazing neighbor made these spiles out of PVC pipe a few years ago when we first started tapping.
