| Lila's joy school went on a field trip to the Hill Aerospace Museum. They had a ball. Lila kept repeating, "museum" like it was a new word. She said this is her favorite plane because it has polka-dots. Another note, is that she was so excited to take a lunch to school like Ellie that she carried it the whole time without a complaint. ;) |
We made a stack of rainbow pancakes for breakfast on Saturday since Mom has a 7am meeting on Sunday and couldn't make them on St. Patrick's Day. Look at those smiles. I don't think they cared what day they got them. :) Add a dollop of whip cream for a cloud and we're set.
We then got busy loading bikes and packing a lunch so we could go out to Antelope Island after Ellie's gym class. We were hoping to do a family bike ride together, but most of the trails there are really meant for mountain bikes. So after a little exploring which we saw Antelope run across the road and right out our window and Bison we sent Steve off on his own trail ride.
The girls and I went to the visitor's center and then out to the beach area. Which they love!
The girls played for 1.5 hours. Steve joined us when he completed his ride (which when we got home both of his tires were flat--serious riding).
Then we had a chance to visit with Mimi for a bit before she headed off to the airport and Grandpa found these mini greenhouses that the girls have planted and are so excited about.
We made our leprechaun trap. It is a "Gold Vault". Ellie actually made gold coins with eagles on them to put down in the trap. We thought once he fell down in he wouldn't be able to get out, but he must have had a friend with him who lowered in our clover decoration that he used to climb out with--spilling the coins Ellie made along the way. Ellie said, "I knew we should have pulled all the clovers off of that." :)
Then as they escaped through the door they dropped a $1,000,000 that turned into a candy bar. Better luck next year!
