Peterskill in Minnewaska

Both Sydney and Sadie have blossomed as hikers this summer and fall. Here is a hike we all did in a different part of Minnewaska State Park.

Evelyn loves to spot the trail markers

I asked Joshua if I should help Sadie navigate one part and he reminded me that she is by far the most agile member of our family. She navigated it herself without any difficulty and likes to be a part of the pack during our hiking adventures.

Sydney has started playing Bambini Soccer in New Paltz. The videos below show the moving goal (complete with requisite "goal" shouted after each goal), bumping me to get a head start to the ball, and the swoosh move to change directions. It is really fun to see the ways they are building toward the skills you actually need to play soccer.

Gearing up for "London Bridge" which is also known as the art of nutmegging!
