The Rock Quarry (Thomas' choice)
Thanks for posting Jac!
We all loved this activity!
All the way to the top! (Yes, the kids are AMAZING climbers!)
"I think I'm stuck..."
"I'm smiling, but I'm really complaining and I refuse to touch the top! Even if I'm only two rocks away!"
Woo-Hoo!
Our lovely belayers! They were troopers and followed us around!
Emily chose Cross Country skiing which will have to come later because it was too cold! (Are you surprised she picked XC skiing? Us too!)
After the Quarry, we went to Deb's for a Harry Potter New Years Party! Everyone dressed up! This is Tonks and Belatwix....
Mom the MUgGle...
the whole crew....
Hagrid...
Harry Potter...
Ron, Fred, Neville, George, Hermonie (s), and Harry.....
Fred and George....
Neville and Luna Lovegood....
and another outfit for the twins!
Then we celebrated a Happy New Year with the 2010 Ball Drop! Woo Hoo!
It's been a very fun two weeks! It's sad it's over! Good thing we can have fun no matter if there's a break or not! Until next year!

We didn't even have two weeks, it made me sad.
