Adventures & Penguins

Ria's second grade class has been studying penguins. She did her report on the macaroni penguin and for the penguin party for the parents she wanted to be one. (Thanks Grandma Mary for hair bows with endless possibilities!) We brought a fitting veggie tray!

It seems like forever since Brant has actually been home on a Saturday, so we made the most of it. Only 30 minutes away we enjoyed a little hike around Grand Falls!

Brant & I always have so much fun checking out cool spots. And with all that run off what kid doesn't enjoy Mud, (why did I vacuum out the Rodeo earlier that day?)

 We proved our theory bumpy roads really do make me tired. Preparedness items packed in the car is genius; it was windy Ria needed that sweatshirt. Nuts to snack on & water to drink make the kids a little better for the ride home.

We got home and quickly changed for a Luau at NAU. We were given 4 raffle tickets to enter a drawing; Ria with her usual confidence said "we'll win one". There were a lot of people there and we didn't purchase any additional tickets so we didn't have great odds but True to our Lucky lil' lady she won a beach bag & towel. We enjoyed the Luau, Rianne liked the Samoan slap dance. Heath enjoyed the fruit punch but wasn't too impressed with the program until they did a rock, paper, scissors tournament for the pineapple centerpieces and he won! I must have really Lucky kids!

Thanks for a wonderful weekend Brant!
