High School Figure Skating Competition

This past weekend we traveled to Marquette for a High School Figure Skating Competition.
Our girls did a great job. I think we could have done even better if we had more practices. I'll work on that for next year. Waiting for their turn.

Spin with foot catch.




These are some of our B team girls with their coach.

Our team--missing three girls.


This is Terra doing the longest element which was a spiral. She took second in this.






Another team photo.

Sunday Drive

My hubby and I decided to go for a ride this past Sunday. I like to check out the ice formations and hopefully spot an eagle.

There wasn't much ice to speak of. We've had a very mild winter here (not complaining at all!).





We spotted some coyote tracks. Hubs will be hunting these guys when the predator hunt comes up. He's scouting this area to see how much animal traffic there is.



We saw an Indian fishing boat and I couldn't believe the number of seagulls that trailed behind this boat!


We did get lucky enough to see an eagle. Hubby spotted him and stopped so I could take a picture.

He noticed us and then decided he had enough of the paparazzi! Off he flew. Beautiful birds!


We did a bit of snowshoeing near Lac La Belle and then headed home. I really enjoy getting out on the "shoes" and going off-trail.




Thanks for checking out my blog. Don't be shy--leave a comment!

My Favorite Silly Kids

Ahhh, my two favorite people! They sure do love to be silly together. They love making silly faces at me when I am trying to take their pictures.

Maybe one of these days they'll let me take a more serious photo. One can only hope.

Thanks for stopping by!
