New Swing for the Tree


After eight years of the original swing Phil made it needed replacing after the wood split.  A great Father's Day project.  The girls each signed it and Dad engraved the signature with a tool and stained it dark so it would pop off the swing.   Will be fun to look back years from now on how thier signatures looked in 2014.


Let's hope we get plenty of years out of this one.

Christina Aguilera Visits the Ithan Living Museum

The Ithan Elementary Living Museum is a 4th grade tradition where students are statues of famous Pennsylvanians who come to life and tell thier story when "patrons" come by and step on thier button.  The students stay in character for the entire session while parents learn about many famous people.  Sophia was Christina and did a fabulous job and had an exciting replica of The Voice Chair to make sure the whole scene was a great experience for museum goers.  Video link
