Groundhog's Day

On February 2nd, we went to our capital city to observe the Groundhog's day traditions. Here is the little varmit in his cage before the big moment.

Elise says, "He is littler than us."
Josiah says, "....but bigger than a mouse."



Later we went outside to watch if the groundhog would see his shadow. The master of ceremonies pulled him out of his box, luckily it was a warm day here, so the little guy did not bite anyone!

Josiah wanted the groundhog to Not see his shadow, and to end winter.

Elise wanted the groundhog to see his shadow, cause she wants to go sledding again.

Here, the groundhog gives his verdict to our mayor. He says, "I see my shadow, 6 more weeks of winter!"

Josiah, and the crowd moaned. Elise said, "Yipee, Yes!"

These are our friends Micah and Even.



Here we are, enjoying some warm weather, before it turns back to winter!
