I visited the Cleveland Botanical Gardens today.  They have just started their Orchid Maniaand had a special pre-opening to the public photographers event where you could bring in tripods and other camera gear that is normally not permitted.  More photos are on myZenfolio Cleveland Botanical Garden – Orchid Mania Photo Album.

Today was Pinewood Derby Day for Cub Scout Pack 67 in Twinsburg, Ohio.    You have seen me post other photos of the car in progress of being built on my 365 Project HERE.

I have posted more photos of the derby on my Photo Gallery in the Pinewood Derby Photo Album.  You will need a password to access the photos, please contact me for the password.

The kids were off of school for a snow day today.  I took the day off to be with them and took them to the sled hill near the intersection of SR-91 & SR-82 in Twinsburg for a few runs down the hill.

The snow was about 6″ deep and we were the first people to be there after the storm.  So, the sled did not go through the snow very well and got stuck a few times until we made a path of compacted snow.

The boys had a blast, and want to do it again!

You can see more photos on my Photo Gallery in the Snow Day (2010-02-26) Album.

It is BLACK FRIDAY and this is what I have to look at outside?

My son created this for his 2nd Grade class assignment.  This is a “Float” created on top of a shoe box lid.  It is his favorite scene from the book “Tigers at Twilight” by Mary Pope Osborn.  He created it (Mom helped him out also) from clay and some of the toys he has.  We are very proud of him and how it turned out!
