Saturday in the City

Caylee and I spent some time in the city last Saturday before the UCONN Men's game versus Iona. Most of our time was spent visiting the Wadsworth Antheneum.

Sign for cheering on the Huskies.
Posing with Nathan Hale.
Life can be like a balance beam.
Some parts are tricky.
Then things get a little easier.
And just when you have things figured out...
Skidding along the impromptu ice rink.
Maybe Peggy Fleming started this way.
Did they really wear this?
Red riding hood!
Babies slept in this?
And we're looking at this why?
I know this is a kitchen but where's the microwave?
Table/chair.
Fountain of youth?
Dad, why do they call them grandfather clocks?
Wow, more paintings and stuff. When does the game start?

Snow Bowl

Last weekend, sister Penny attended the Miami Dolphin/New England Patriot game in Foxboro, Massachusetts. It was a good day to be in the corporate box.

A cold track for the visiting Dolphins.
Finding your seat was a little more difficult than usual.
Heated seats? I don't think so.
A unique touchdown celebration.

First Blizzard of the 'Winter'

A foot or more of snow between Friday afternoon and Sunday morning. Luckily it was light and fluffy. Caylee and Ben enjoyed the afternoon playing in the backyard.

A bucket of snow...
...to dump on your head.
Snow buddies.
Smile for the camera!
Gathering snow for the fort.
