Snapshot of our day off school.

We are in the middle of a four day weekend. Here's what we've been up to so far. Nothing spectacular, but fun to remember the regular days. (Note: The pics are all off my phone and are not good quality at all. Better than nothing I guess. I better start using my new camera!)
Our four day weekend so far: Some serious trampoline time for Logan and Ellie on their day off. A friend over for Ellie, they played for hours outside in the playhouse, on the tire swing, etc. Easy Bake Oven for the girls and the real oven for Logan. First batch of Valentine sugar cookies. Every time there is a moment of down time, the remote helicopters start whizzin' around the house!! Papa brought home Papa Murphy's for dinner. Veggie thin crust delite every time!
Basketball game for Logan with the youth BB program through the high school. His team, the Beavers, won by a mile two games in a row now. Logan is enjoying it. He made a few baskets in the first game and has had some great plays and passes.
There's no getting away for technology around here. Plenty of Wii time for Logan, two movies for the kids and one for Darin and I. 
Spent a few hours at the YMCA. Swimming in the pool, shooting a couple hoops, and fooling around with racket ball. 
Darin and Logan tried their hand at fishing this morning. Not a lot of luck, and they snagged a good hook on a bush over the water. Then later tonight Darin decided to go back to try to get the hook back, now that the tide had gone out and the river was low. Of course he sent Logan down the muddy ledge after the hook. The water level changes so much with the tide! It would have been over Logan's head if he had been standing there this morning. It was a hilarious scene because Logan got really stuck in the deep, squishy mud. Both feet, stuck fast. Then as he started to get free, he fell on his rear end. And it was pouring rain!
