Fort Stanwix

We continued our Revolutionary War kick and visited Fort Stanwix in Rome one more time before moving.  The kids really got into trying out some costumes and props available to visitors.

 Holden is still working on which way is up on his weapon.

Lena isn't the most intimidating soldier, but she may be the happiest.

Dance recital take 2

As part of the art festival, several dance classes performed their recital pieces.  Lena's class put on a performance that topped the one they did on recital night.

Kirkland Art Center's Family Festival

Every year that we have lived in Clinton, we have gone to the local art center's fundraising festival.  It features fantastic activities for the kids.  Joseph let us know that he had a really fun time.

One of the most popular activities is a ride where kids go down a ramp and aim a pole to try to pop a water balloon hanging in a dragon's mouth.

 Joseph was able to hit the water balloon.  He was pretty excited to get wet.

Joseph won the pillow fight with Lena.

Dad won the pillow fight with Joseph.

Dad had to make sure Lena was cheating during the duck race.  She pushed the duck along a few times.

Lena came in third place in the fun run!
