Latest Modifications of my Floating Arm Trebuchet

 I raised the thingy that the wheel rides on by a foot and replaced the 5 foot arm with a 8 foot arm.

These are some pictures that I took with the camera I am borrowing from cousin Matthew.

Duckkkks

We got three new ducks, because we thought that our other duck might feel a bit uncomfortable being the only duck in the neighborhood. Although by now the one duck probably thinks she is a chicken. So here are the new ducks, one yellow and two brown, posing for their photos.

Leaf Pictures

Mandy said that I needed to have a new post so I took some pictures and did some editing with Picasa.

Friday we had a snow day, and Abe, Pete, Sam and I went to the dam at eastlake to go sledding. Abe got a really good shot of me going over the little jump we made. We didn't make the landing big enough though, so I landed on the ground, which hurt, but we had a lot of fun!

Ice Fishing

Every year Abe and I go to the lake after it is frozen and collect lures, hooks, weights, etc. that people have got stuck in the trees. This year we also went ice fishing. Peter was old enough to come along this year so we brought him.

We made 2 holes in the ice which was between 7 and 12 inches thick with an ax and hatchet. The fish apparently don't like liver ether, so we didn't catch any.
