Winter Outing

For the first month of the year, we continued to have the needed rains. But there were still enough sunny days that we were able to enjoy the outside.
The family went on a bike trip and hunting the geocach along the way. This is one that we found at one of the vertical poles at the fence. After that discovery, Renee and Max tried to rock all the fences. That habit was quickly put to stop.
We took a few group selfies along the way.
This is another bike trip that we took at a nearby park.
Renee and Max decided to climb all the way up before their kungfu class. For their kungfu learning, Max shows good sense of the form but sloppy on the details, probably due to lack of enough practice. Renee has good basic skills from the dancing and gym practice. She is still learning to get a hang of kungfu.
Max really loves building stuff out of the blocks. He can focus on it for a long time. We start getting ones that is aimed to be older kids. He enjoys them much more. I just need to stick around on the few cases where he does not have enough strength yet.
We continue having the monthly Den meeting with Cub Scouts. Here are the tigers playing outside at the end of one meeting.
I served as a chaperon for a Renee's school trip to the oldest school in town. We all dressed up and lived in year 1888 for half a day.
During the recess, we played the games in those days. They were actually pretty fun.
Renee learned to use the feather pen to write and use the paper towel to dry the ink. Renee felt very proud after because she wrote the whole thing without a mistake.
Max is playing piano now. He has been making pretty good progress to our relief. The teacher appears to like him too.
Renee joined a team for "Destination Imagination" competition. They met frequently to build a structure, build the scene, and make a play. Even though we didn't get to go to the state, we all enjoyed the time and learning tremendously.
Max and his team took this picture for the driver's license. However, he got sick and was not able to join the Pinewood Derby race.
