This is the museum in Milwaukee on Jan. 31st. (Sorry for the sideways picture. I was feeling lazy today.) They had this tank of sturgeon that you could touch. That is what Charlie, Chelsea and Lexi are doing while bent over in the one picture. There was a full size ship inside the museum, named the Challenge, that used to do runs up and down the Wisconsin coast. The picture of Jaxson is him coming up the ladder from the cargo hold on the Challenge. The picture of Lexi laying down is her laying on a bed of nails. We all got to try it. Surprisingly, it didn't hurt. 
These pictures are of the museum in Rockford, Il on Jan 28th. This one at the bottom that looks like a big cage is actually the stair case to the 2nd floor. They had climbing platforms inside that you could climb up (if you were small enough to fit in the little holes). The kids loved it. The picture of the tubes was a wall of tubes that had air flowing through them. There were foam balls that you could put inside and watch the air move them through the maze of tubes. Merrit and Jaxson really liked this display. The red pictures are an impression of each one of us in one of those needle table-like things. Charlie thought it would be fun to have our family picture done that way. We actually have one picture with all of us in it, but it's really hard to see detail in that one. Can you tell who is who? The picture at the top with all the kids sitting in that big yellow thing was actually a giant sit and spin. The red knob in the middle allowed you to push or pull yourself around in a circle. The kids had lots of fun with that.
These videos are ones I shot with our digital camera so there is no sound, but they are of our sledding trip we took on our last snow day, Feb.02. They kids had such a great time. It's a good thing Charlie likes to play too or they probably won't have had half as many fun experiences as they have had in their lives.

Here are some pictures of New Years at Grandma Hicks's house. Grandpa Hicks used his tractor to pile up the snow. Lexi, Merrit and Charlie made a cool cave inside and there was a neat slide down the front in the middle.

What great museums, those looked really fun! I think the people in the first picture is Charlie, Makayla, and you. The second is Charlie, Merrit and Lexi, and the last one is Chelsea and Jaxson. Am I right?
You're kids are getting so old! I looked at one of the pictures of Makayla and, holy cow!, she looks so...old. And Lexi looked so long on that bed of nails. But what a fun couple of days-I'm glad that you guys got to go to all those museums.
