Learning to ice skate

I signed up all three kids for ice skating lessons on Sunday afternoons at the Broome County Arena. After three weeks, all three kids can manage decently well on ice skates. Laura gingerly walks at a snail's pace. Benjamin stumbles along at top speed and Joshua manages to look like someone who knows what he is doing.

Today Joshua picked his most obscure creature yet for a game of 20 questions--a parasite that supposedly lives in the saliva of a mosquito. He couldn't give us the name when we gave up (perhaps he should be disqualified for that).

We also went back to the letterbox we found last week to share it with Daddy. This time we remembered a pen, but I left the stamp pad in the car. We will have to go back soon--I think we were supposed to stamp the hitchhiker we found there before we move it somewhere else. Benjamin was really excited to find the two letterboxes last week, and he insisted that we take care of the hitchhiker one. Hopefully we will find another letter box for it over Thanksgiving.
