The Science Museum of Oklahoma

The Sipps invited us to take a trip down to Oklahoma to visit the science museum.

Of course, the kids jumped at the chance to skip school for a field trip!

Sophie and Nathaniel.

The best part was the Segway course!  Every last one of us loved it!  Here is Sandy giving it a go.

Nathaniel and a plane.

7 kids all jammed into a tornado tube experiencing winds up to 78 MPH.

Titus, Timothy and Nathaniel in the space capsule. 

While Ella is two months older than Nora she is much shorter.  Sandy joked that in this picture Ella looks like Nora's daughter.

What boy could resist building a house with large Legos?  Wyatt, Tim and Nathaniel.

All in all, it was a great day!

Christmas at the Cabin

Once again we spent several days over Christmas at the cabin.

We bought the kids a nice sled for Christmas and we put it to good use.

We had to fix a piece of flashing that was loose and flapping in the wind.
