Last night Eric built a leprechaun trap. His plan was to capture a leprechaun and hold him captive until the leprechaun revealed the location of his pot of gold. The trap was checked frequently during the evening with no results. However, an examination the next morning revealed some torn green cloth. Apparently, a leprechaun was trapped [...] Thursday night Kathryn went to play volleyball and Eric and I started a marathon Monopoly game. We set up on the dining room table which was more “cat proof” than other locations in the house.

Over President’s Day Weekend Eric had Trevor come over for some ice skating and a sleep over. The flooded park in Holland Patent has rough ice and slopes quite a bit, but that didn’t deter them.
