Don't Put Away Your Warm Snuggies Yet...

Just to remind us to appreciate the warm weather when it comes (and maybe even stays for more than one day), we had snow last night.  I woke up to my DH whistling "Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland" in the kitchen.  Gotta love that guy. 



I thought it would melt by the afternoon but it's still here.....  (and, yes, it is that gray out at noon)

OK, so ignoring the snow, we went to the NY State Odyssey of the Mind Tournament in Binghamton this past weekend.  Megan's team from her elementary school placed 1st in the regional competition in the vehicle problem, so they were invited to compete at the state level.  On the way there, we stopped in Ithaca and explored the Science Museum....


"How tall are you in geologic eras?"  "Oh, about Triassic.  And you?"  "Pennsylvanian."


How much fun can you have with air jets and balls?


A lot!

Here's Megan's Odyssey team preparing to present their long term problem.  They have been working on building a vehicle (a hot dog train propelled by a reversed vacuum) traveling through environments (the digestive system).  What a creative group of kids!



Their vehicle fit within the regulation dimensions....rather easily.


No new knitting projects to share until after Easter as all my recent work has been on Easter gifts.
