As you can tell, Everett is felling better now. A friend commented long ago that her boys are incapable of just walking. They must reach some higher point may it be a small retaining wall, the "curb" like step in Costco's refrigeration section or the slight hill along a path. Clearly Everett has the same ideas. It was just a short walk to the trolley stop. Everett insisted on climbing and scaling his way there over the large piles of snow due to clearing parking lots . . . his sister soon to follow his example. Never mind that I was easily walking just below them on the cleared concrete. 
I love this picture! The trip was fun too. We went from our end of this little town to the other. Our driver became our personal guide as he told us all he could as we past important places. Isobel fell asleep during part of it. Imagine that. All warm, bundled on a easy going trolley at about 2:30 in the afternoon.... Good thing the library was our only stop. And that she would not miss!
Today we did some new math. We worked on some addition. We were able to "borrow" (not check out) this book from the local library. Following the story and some very cool Ben Franklin facts, was a magic square and its explanation. Everett immediately wanted to try it out. Here we are for the next while playing with our math cubes to make the sum of 15 in every direction. 
Here is the exact reason we did not bring any other toys with us. They were beyond content to work together pouring hot and cold water into their snow pit "just to see what happens". I think that is called science . . . .
