Soccer and Static Hair

James and Ethan started soccer at the Conway Rec. a couple weeks ago.
I snapped a few pics on their first day:

The first couple day's were practice and drills, now the boys will be playing real games on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons if anyone want's to come and cheer them on!
Here is James (in the red shorts) driving the ball up the field.

The boys homeschool pals Thaddeus and Kevin are also playing at the rec this year! They stopped running long enough for me to snap this shot:

While the boys played the girls were having fun on the playground with their friend Eliza! The cold dry air that day sent the girls hair flying as they came down the slide!!

They went down over and over and the hair just kept getting bigger and bigger!

Mollies static personality matches her hair in this photo!!

Pond Hockey

The boys are playing pond hockey this year on Saturday mornings with the Conway Rec and the Ham Arena. It is a great program (mostly because it's free!) that introduces them to ice hockey in a fun 3 on 3, 30 minute game.
Ethan's team played first. Here he is in the blue shirt standing in the middle.

He's a little wobbly on the ice but did a great job!

Here he is again going for a hit!

Pat was out plowing so the girls came along to watch the action.

James was up next. That's him in the green near the goal.

He did really great out on the ice! Here he is ready for the puck!

Go get 'em James!!!

Skiing Today at King Pine

Here are some pics from our day at King Pine today! We decided to try something new this year and so we are at King Pine instead of Cranmore. So far so good! The runs are short but the conditions were great and there were a lot less people which is a major plus!!!

Here is James, Ethan and Caleb on the lift in front of me:

Ethan and James in the lodge.

On the mountain.

A super fast racing pose!!!

We enjoyed skiing with the Nesses!

On the lift again!

A day of skiing would not be complete with out some of Nana Kelley's cookies to share! Thanks Nana for the cookies!!!
