A large storm hit the middle of Michigan that dropped between 8-12″ of snow. Lucky for us, the wind was suppose to be up the next morning. We had a great session for a couple hours before the wind died. There were endless piles of powered on the lake.

Crystal Snowboarding Weekend
We headed North with Jeanette to meet up with Carl and Mary for a weekend at Crystal Mountain.
We snowboarded all day Saturday. The snow was great! Freshly groomed trails were everywhere. We played games had an amazing dinner and took a late night walk with the puppy.
Sunday we taught Jeanette to fly a kite and then headed back south through the storm of the winter so far.

A Butterfly Study
On a recent trip, we went to a butterfly exhibit and got to explore a ton of different creatures. It was so cool to see so many butterflies all in one place. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen so many before. They also had a collection of bugs and other insects from around the globe. Here is a little of what we saw…

Snowkiting in Michigan
We have not had the snow that we did last year, as of yet. But, we were lucky this past weekend to have great conditions come together for a few great snowkite sessions. The lake had 4-10″ of ice and the snow was about 4-6″ which was just enough to grip. The winds were great the first day and a little gusty during the second session. We also made a few new kiters too! We all had a great time out there.
Here is a quick clip from Edgar:

A perfect winter day snowboarding at Crystal
We headed up to Crystal for what turned out to be a spectacular day of snowboarding. It was gray and snowing as we arrived. Mel and I took a few runs before the rest of the group showed up. As they arrived, the grey sky cleared and we scored blue skies for the rest of the day. The snow was fantastic and everyone had a blast!

Early Winter Huron River Paddle
Edgar and I packed up the gear and went for a paddle before the river froze over. It had been a windy and rainy fall, so it has been a while since we had ventured around on the river. The ice was already starting to form on the river. Other than being a little chilly the conditions were great, it was calm and the water was glassy.

Atomic Con – Behind The Scenes
The first Atomic Con Conference was a great time. We had two days of talks and in the evenings we enjoyed the rare time we all get together. The talks were informative, some were extremely technical, while others were fun and useful.
