Winter Fun in the Desert

Posted in Family, and Outdoor Adventures

What do you do when you really want snow, but you live in the desert where snow isn’t going to happen? You make your own snow with your friends. Then, you throw it at each other on the trampoline.  You proceed to slip and slide all over the place. Sending yourself and your friends into fits of screams and laughter. Pretty soon, you feel ice hit your feet as mommy had thrown an entire bucket of ice onto the trampoline. You have a great time playing with the snow and ice. You also begin to wonder why you didn’t try…

Trip to Sea World Part 4

Posted in Family, Homeschooling, and Outdoor Adventures

I’m finally getting the last installment of the Sea World pictures up.  I’m sure I’ll have a few random animal pictures to share later, but for now, this wraps up the trip.  The final show that we saw was the Sea Lions Live show.  The stage looked like a television studio, and all of the show names were spoofs of real tv shows.  We cracked up at the crazy antics from the animals.
