This month we did some activities with the kids on the weekends. Caleb loves shoes, and one day Nathan took the boys to a Nike Air Jordan exhibit called 'Overboard.' A local artist was inspired to make 280 pair of Jordans from recycled materials, following the 'The Great Shoe Spill of 1990,' where 5 shipping containers of Nike shoes and work boots fell into the Pacific Ocean in a store between South Korea and the U.S., and washed ashore. They got to meet the artists and talk to him about the exhibit, and were very impressed with the craftsmanship of the shoes. Caleb said this was an opportunity of a lifetime :)
Another day we went to Skyzone, their favorite place. It is impressive to watch them all flip away!
One day when Caleb was invited to go to a party with a friend, I took Benjamin and Eliza ice skating at the outdoor rink at Reston Town Center. Benjamin had skated may times in Turkey, but this was Eliza's first time. She got a snowman for stability, but within a short time she ditched the snowman and was skating on her own. It was a fun afternoon.
Benjamin was a good helper and encouraged Eliza.
One evening we drove around the neighborhood to look at Christmas lights. Some people go all out, this street was impressive.
It's been a fun start to the winter season.

Fun Winter - cool opportunity (especially for Caleb) to see the Nike Air Jordan exhibit. “Overboard” sounds about right. Nice they got to meet the artist (Ben must have loved this). Lots of flying at Skyzone for our three acrobats. Fun day of skating - Eliza is always ready to go - Benjamin is so sweet with helping her. Happy Winter everyone. Love you all five xoxoxoxoxo
