Field Trip

I went with the boys on a field trip to the Decatur Children's Museum.
They had such a great time, making dams, creating huge bubbles and exploring the world.

Drew loved working the gears.

High Water Refugees



With all the snow melt and rain the river is way up. Wednesday nite it started to cover the road at the end of the lane, so we packed up and have been living at mom & dads. Thursday nite I took the atv in across the fields to check the house and get a few things. On the way in I hit a spot that had a thin ice crust on top and about half way thru I got stuck. Had to wade about 8" of mud to push out the atv.

Basketball



Drew had a basketball game on Thursday in Mattoon. He played a great game, he scored 9 points. However, they did lose the game. He was so sore and tired the next day, but he recovered pretty quick.

Geocaching



Today we used Darrell's christmas present (GPS) and went geochaching. We went to two sites, they were pretty easy to find, one was at the parking area outside of Tuscola and the other at the Hippie Memorial in Arcola. The kids had a great time trying to find the cache.

Merry Christmas

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Spotting Scope
Nerf Finger Football
The Herschberger boys have started a wrapping paper war tradition.
They have so much fun, running thru and throwing paper, it gets pretty
wild and crazy. The best part is, they clean up all the paper.

Winter Fun













The kids had a great time in the snow last weekend. Darrell helped them build the gigantic snowman, a few days later he was out cold ( he fell over) but it was fun while it lasted. Adam and Jeryl came over on Sunday and the kids all went sledding using the 4-wheeler. Since there are no hills in central Il.





"Sheriff Duke"

Drew played "Sheriff Duke" in our annual Christmas play at school this year, he did a fabulous job in acting and even had a southern drawl.
