Highlands for Thanksgiving

December 2, 2020

We headed to the mountains for Thanksgiving and had a great trip as always! We left early Wednesday morning and got there after lunch. There was a little rain that afternoon so we didn’t do much but we were happy to be there!

As has become a tradition, we hiked Whiteside Mountain on Thanksgiving morning! This is our 6th year to spend Thanksgiving in Highlands and our 4th year in a row to do this hike on Thanksgiving morning. It’s a great hike with the very best views at the top.

After stuffing ourselves, we had to get out and work it off a little by hitting a few golf balls!

Pinewood Derby

December 1, 2020

One of our favorite days of the year finally got to happen! The Boy Scout Pinewood Derby! It looked a little different than previous years but the cars got to race so that’s all that mattered. Maxwell and Spencer had both worked so hard on their cars before quarantine and I’m so thankful they got the chance to see them on the track.

Maxwell with “Cavallino” and Spencer with “Bullet Bill”!

Spencer’s troop didn’t get together to race but he got to participate in the siblings race with Maxwell’s troop. There was some good competition…

They had the most fun watching the races.

We’re a little late to the game but we finally read the first Harry Potter book!

We read it aloud and, despite the kids have zero interest in it before we started, they all really enjoyed it and we’re moving on to book 2!
