Where have I been? I’ve been wondering the same thing about a few of you. Where have YOU been? Well, I’ll tell you where I’ve been and what we’ve been up to. We’re in the middle of a “stay-at-home-vacation” around here, I tell you. Can you guess by these pictures where we went on Friday?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We saw Alphonse the white aligator, climbed Rhinos,<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

and did some monkeying around, that’s for sure. You’re right! We went to the Zoo on Friday. Many thanks to my mom and dad for coming with us, it made it much more fun.<\/p>\n

We went from the zoo directly to our next activity, which was nice and warm for once. <\/p>\n

The kids loved having a warm swimming lesson, and didn’t want to leave. But we had to hurry home so that Mom and Dad could leave on their date to go and see our favorite local band in concert<\/a>. We went with Julene and Italo and had a great time! There was that small problem with Cafe Rio not having received our on line order and having to wait for it, but since they only charged us $20 for a dinner for 4 of us, we won’t complain about that. It was a great concert and lots of fun!<\/p>\n

On Saturday we did some jobs around the house until late afternoon, when we went to a fun party. We called it “Moms work party”, since it was with the bell choir. It was worth the drive up to Kaysville and everyone had a great time!<\/p>\n

Today, our day of rest, I am supposed to be preparing my lesson for RS this aftenoon. It’s this lesson<\/a> and I don’t really have any ideas for making it fun.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 I know not every lesson has to be fun, but I’d sure like it to be.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 I’m thinking of making cookies for the treat, with chocolate chips or raisins, and bringing them out when we talk about how “most of us have vulnerable spots through which disaster can overtake us unless we are properly safeguarded and immunized….” and make some kind of comparison that we are all like the cookie.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 We all have these “chips”.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 And we need to know where our weaknesses are and safeguard against temptations there.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 Yeah, kind of weak, but I’m at a loss here.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 I hope it goes well.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 (No pressure or anything, but the stake people are just going to be there today. For this lesson.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 Ugh.)<\/p>\n

Tomorrow we will continue our fun mini vacation at home with a day at Lagoon<\/a>.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 There will be a great amount of picture taking there, I’m sure.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 It should be nice weather, too.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 I hope.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 And Tuesday, Ryan’s taking another day off work for my cousin Sarah’s wedding.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 So we’ll be busy busy busy having fun fun fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
