A Winters Day Hike

I know that it is soon for another post but I thought I would share a cute little story from my day. I went hiking up Pack Monadnock in Peterborough this morning with my homeroom. The point of the hike was to get to the top so we could sled down. The group had a rough go of it but while we were there we were passed by a couple, also on a hike. The two of them stopped to chat and said that this was a place that they used to spend a lot of time at in the summer and occasionally during the winter. The man then told us that he was 83 years old and his wife was almost 81- she got upset since she was only 80 and her birthday was not for a few more months. They were super cute and made it to the top when most of the teenagers I was with gave up only half way.

February Vacation- Kind of

This week is supposed to be February Vacation week. It is one of those awesome perks to being a teacher. Well not so much. Since I work at a private school we had fewer options for making up snow days compared to public schools. So we decided to work the first three days this week. By work of course I mean we made it Winter Week. Today I was going to be cross country skiing, tomorrow I will go ice skating and Wednesday I get to go skiing at Cannon Mountain. Not bad for a week of work! Of course we got a snow storm last night and school was delayed two hours. I am going to miss today for another reason- Jackson continues to fight this flu bug and after 4 plus days of being sick I am taking him to the doctors to make sure he is ok. I think Jackson will tell you that he feels better and that over the last 4 days he has more than made up for all the t.v. Scott and I never let him watch! I think his favorite new phrase is "I want to watch it over and over and over Mommy!" Thankfully I have not gotten the flu yet- seems like a miracle since Jackson prefers to get sick on me instead of in the bowl or the toilet! I love being a mom- it has been kind of nice hearing him ask to snuggle all the time.
I have a few pictures from our Valentines trip to Seapoint Beach and when I find the camera I will post them for everyone to see. It had been way too long since the family hit the beach and I think we all had an awesome time, especially Cassidy.

We hope everyone is doing well. Spring is on the way and soon we will have lots of pictures of our upcoming camping adventures!

Here are the pictures from the beach- the last one shows a sad boy who didn't want to go home!
For good measure I am going to add some pictures of the sick pup this morning. We went to the doctor and she said that if he is still sick on Wednesday we will need to run some tests but so far he seems to be holding his own. I sure hope we don't have to do any tests later this week!
