Adrian found a bunch of ice by the fire pit and ran to tell me about his discovery. 
The pieces were very delicate and broke in very different ways. I was glad we were able to capture some neat sculptures before they disappeared.

Megan
Megan has been pretending in the capes that the girls’ made a few years ago. I often do not know what she is playing, but I am thankful for her imagination and that I can watch.
Snowflake
It snowed for a little while today!
Jonathan
My great nephew came to visit today. He is usually very happy and loves to play with the kids, but we woke him up from his nap accidentally so he was not as cheerful as normal. I loved how his “puppy dog” eyes told us so much!
Bragging on Audrey
Audrey is most interested in Monarch butterflies, but she also enjoys photographing the outdoors. This year she earned Honorable Mentions for her “Momma” and “Fairy Door” photographs at this years Elkhart County Parks Photo Contest.
Bragging on Megan
This was the second year that Megan entered pictures into the Elkhart County Parks Photo Contest. She works very hard getting good pictures and hopes to earn a ribbon next year. She asked Mr. Courtney (who is in charge) and he said she was youngest to enter any pictures! We learned later that the next youngest entry was taken by a ten year old.
Keep up the good work Megan!
Bragging on Adrian
As one of the youngest participants, Adrian won an honorable mention with his White Crocus in this years Elkhart County Parks Photo Contest. He enjoys taking pictures and he often takes a lot! I am really proud of how he is improving.
Bragging on Mark
Mark entered five pictures in the Elkhart County Park Photo contest this year. He did not win any ribbons, but I was told by someone looking at his pictures that his deer picture was really neat.
Bragging on Andrea
Andrea was excited to earn a third place ribbon for her “Strawberries” picture at The Elkhart County Parks Photo Contest! Her photography is really improving.
Inauguration 2017
Today we watched the inauguration of President Trump. We turned on the news early and are still listening and watching everything that is going on. I have enjoyed listening to the children’s discussions on everything leading up to the swearing in and then President Trump’s speech.
