This Is Us

  I decided that it would be fun to have a special dinner to celebrate Leap Year. I made Frog Sandwiches - turkey and cheese with bacon tongues and grape and raisin eyes Swamp Vines - curly french fries Swamp Water - green Hawaiian Punch Frogs in a Pond - chocolate cupcakes with frosting and gummy frogs Our kids seemed to enjoy it and have fun!

  With everything we needed to do, but, and get done for Brichette and Sam's wedding we didn't do much of anything else this summer. One thing we did was get dinner at Arctic Circle.  We got them kid's meals because they came with a dino soaker.  I thought a took a picture of them, but I did save the ad with a picture of them.  Haha... It will be at the bottom.  Anyway... in the meal there was also a free voucher for Dinosaur Island at  Thanksgiving Point - Lehi, Utah  in the Ashton Gardens area. There is a wonderful area that they are growing food! It’s wonderful! The kids had a lot of fun and it was so fun to get out of the house and play.  I was expecting to see more dinosaurs, but I know they are expensive. Also... We never did find the Utah Raptor that escaped.  If you happen to see it, please tell me where you found it. We also got some ice cream from the snack bar. Here are all the pictures I took.  If you get a chance, you should...

  Today when I went out front I found we had some cute visitors. Two cute ducks, a male and female! They hung out for awhile and even napped for a long time in and around our pond.  I’m not sure where they were living, but it was so fun to have them visit with us!

Last night due to all the snow we got ( Snow Post - Last Night ) all three schools (High School, Junior High, and Elementary) called a distance learning day.  This means that the kids have to do their schoolwork online and Lydia and Tyler had a zoom meeting with their teachers and classmates this morning. Nick didn't have to go to work and neither did Brichette (they closed the park for the day).  Donna texted me and said that since the schools were closed, she wanted me to stay home and come clean tomorrow (Thursday) instead. Nick got our snowblower working and cleaned the driveway and sidewalks.  Zain got the Honda cleaned off, which was a big project. haha! Once Lydia and Tyler were done with their zoom meetings, they got on their snow gear and went out and played with Zain in the snow. Xander of course slept in late... haha... and is still sleeping. lol I've gotten some laundry done, fed my sourdough ( Sourdough 101 Post ), my workout done ( Workout Post ), "Play...
