Johnson Family: January 2009

Hey Everyone,

How are things going....I do not have much to report. There is not really much to do in the winter time here in Wisconsin and the temperature has been below zero for many days.
A few things that are going on is that I have joined a swim class at North Star Middle School. This is the second level of swimming. I have completed the first class last year. My dad still has to be in the water with me, but I love it a lot. Some kids you can tell are not having a lot of fun, but I love it so much that I don't really want to get out of the water...however it would help if the school heated the pools a bit better. The water is a bit chilly.
Daddy and I made a great big chocolate cake to help celebrate mom's Birthday... we had some family come over and had a great time.
The following weekend Grandpa Steve and Grandma Deb offered to bring us the National Eagle center in Wabasha, MN. It was about an hour drive from where we live. IT was soooo cool. I got to see 4 live Eagles about five feet away from me. All of the eagles that are brought here have been injured at some point and are unable to make it on their own. So they use this place for educational purposes...like did you know that an eagle weighs only about 10-12 lbs...who would have thought.. I guessed 40lbs after seeing them right away... there were so big and could no longer fly. There were 3 bald eagles, and 1 golden. The golden was my favorite. We had a great day. We then stopped for Pizza and ice cream!!! My favorite. I hope you all have a wonderful week and will talk to you later. Love, Elliott Lewis
