Winter in New England

I've been having lots of fun this winter. Not as much snow this year- but we still got to go skiing and sledding.

I got some new skis for my wheelchair- not for going down the hill- but just over the packed snow.
 We did some sledding- I love to go fast down the hill!

Sledding!

Over February break we went to Boston for two nights. Our hotel was right next to Paul Revere's house! It was really close to Mike's Pastries (which has the best cannoli ever!).

Then, on our last night we went to see the coolest show ever- The Blue Man Group!! We got to sit really close to the stage and had to wear a rain coat in case the paint splashed us. At the end there were four giant balls that bounced all over the audience and tons of toilet paper got thrown all over the audience!

On our last morning we went to Faneuil Hall. We saw the Great Hall and the museum which had lots of old stuff. We had a snack at Quincy Market.

We also got to have a sleepover at our friend's house and went to the Discovery Museum near their house.
