And so it begins...............kids gone wild! Christmas morning 2005. 

Christmas morning.  

I was able to get the gang showered and dressed just long enough to take this picture. As soon as it was taken the clothes were off and back to the christmas loot. They clean up pretty well!

What a Motely Crew!!! The Growlers and Martinies were goin down just fine. We had a blast when Mike and Kirsty came to stay with us over Thanksgiving. The guys kick are butts in Euker. That's okay, we'll get them back this summer at Put-In-Bay! Yes, we are doing our annual week-end at The Bay this summer in July. For those of you who don't know, we have posted our pictures from last years week-end at the Bay. They are posted in the archives of our blog. It just doesn't get any better than this!

 

These are the Gymnastic Portraits for the 2005 and 2006 season. What little cuties!!

 

Mitchell had to do this Ecocolum project. This Ecocolum you can design bottle habitats for animals and plants. We had to collect 7 2-liter bottles and cut the the tops and bottoms off. Then he was given a fish and we created in the bottom chamber a place for the fish to live. The next chamber was to create food and oxygen for the fish with a plant. The plants roots were in the water for the fish to eat. Then above the plant, we placed a banana peel to decompose and hatch fruit flies. The final chamber was a venus-fly trap plant to eat the fruit flies. This creating a whole ecosystem of life. This was a lot of fun and a great project to do at home with him.
