K’nex Wheelchair

February 5, 2010

Earlier this winter, Claire and Luke worked very hard to design and build this wheelchair — entirely out of K’nex! They didn’t follow any instructions; we just looked at a couple of pictures of wheelchairs on the internet in order to come up with their own design.

Sapsicle

November 23, 2008

Yesterday, Dad sawed off a small branch that was in his face when he was trying to dig some fill out of the dirt pile. Today, Luke noticed something interesting. The sap from inside the branch started dripping out and formed a… SAPSICLE!
