A Week at Wolf Ridge - Ben's View

My 6th grade class went to Wolf Ride Environmental Learning Center this week.  In a word, it was awesome!

From beautiful views...

To awesome night adventures...

And my first room mates.

We learned a lot about Ojibwe culture...

And did a lot of snow shoeing!

Every night, we had great presentations, like this raptor presentation.

I climbed the rock wall!

And conquered the ropes course.

I enjoyed the cafeteria.

I also made my own paper.

It was a great week!

Ben

Michigan vs Iowa State

We drove down to Ames to see Michigan play Iowa State. Dad got to visit with friends of his from college who are now on the ISU faculty and then we watched Michigan lose to a tough Cyclone team.  It was a good game and worth the trip.

Competing in Weapons

Dad took me to a different karate tournament than we normally compete in.  I did a weapons routine (4th) and came in 2nd in sparring.  Dad took me for hot chocolate later.

Messy, Messy, Messy

Sometimes, I just get tired out the mess around here and take matters in to my own hands.

Karate Pic

We had never done pictures at karate before, so we thought we'd try it.  The result was pretty awesome!
