Face Painting

MaKyra had a free meal certificate for Winger's so we thought we would redeem it tonight. When we got there the hostess told us there was a lady doing free face paintings. The kids were so very much excited. She did a great job. Peyton got a rainbow and a horse on her arm. She was so excited about it and didn't hardly even move the whole ride home. She did not want anything to mess it up.
Parker wanted to have Spiderman just like Gabe. I loved that the artist gave them each a little different Spiderman so no one would be sad.
MaKyra chose the butterfly. I thought it turned out so cute. She even had sparkles all over it.

Gabe also had Spiderman. He had his first and Parker followed. Gabe wasn't thrilled to both be Spiderman but he was okay when he saw they were different.

Baby Lambs

My dad told us about all these little lambs out on a sheep farm so on Sunday we drove out to see them. So cute. My camera doesn't zoom as close as I would like so the little lambs could be seen close up, but they were adorable. I loved seeing them run around and hear their little bleatings. So cute.I just want to take the home and hold them. So so sweet. The kids loved them too. Peyton was asleep so she didn't see them but the other kids adored those lambs and didn't want to leave.

Elk

A few miles from home we discovered about 60-90 head of wild elk feeding in this field. It was so cool. They had come down from the foothills to find food in the melted field. It was beautiful.


Dog Sled Races

Last month we attended a dog sled race - something I have always wanted to do. It was such a cool experience to see all the dogs running so hard and fast. It was beautiful. I wanted to go buy some dogs and start racing. The kids were excited and shy to meet the Husky. Parker was so nervous and didn't know what to do when he picked him up for the picture. Not only did we find a husky but we found these M&M ice sculptures. The kids were so excited. Probably more about the M&Ms than the dog races. Another highlight of the day was a big snow hill.

The only way to finish the day was to head to Big Judd's. By accident I captured Kyra's hamburger sitting next to our Big Judd hamburger. One pound hamburger on a huge bun. Yum, yum! If you eat the whole thing by yourself you get your picture on a wall. Matt has never done it - but I have. Back in my college years I ate a Big Judd - my claim to fame. This time though Matt, me and Peyton ate it. Gabe and Parker ate too - chicken nuggets.Her face is so red because she had been crying loud & long.
