One of the projects that I have had on my list forever is to make my boys "indoor fishing" poles and fish. I got the idea
here. My kids were so excited to play with it that I was sewing these little
fishies as fast as my poor pin stuck hands would go. Go to
this post if you want to see how I made these.
They have played with them for hours and hours. I have visions of us turning the couch around and letting them stand on it and fish over the back. Haven't done it yet though.
In honor of Earth day, Palmer drew some pictures. I was pretty impressed with what he came up with. I love that my kids are learning to respect and love the earth...hope it stays with them.
We watched the movie "Oceans" by Disney Nature and can I tell you it is PHENOMENAL. Those of you who have
Netflix can get it on instant
Netflix and it is amazing. We all learned good things and the entire production was breath taking.
For our snack I made these cookies...they struggled, but the boys knew what they were supposed to be and I guess that was what I wanted to accomplish. Since we were heading to Logan, Earth Day this year wasn't quite as elaborate as
last year as we didn't have a ton of time. But I am glad we still did SOMETHING.
Later that night Josh took us to Logan. We bid on an overnight stay at the University Inn at an Aggie Alumni dinner we went to and we won! Can I tell you how fun it is to spend $20 and get something this great?! We also won basketball tickets in the package, but had to miss the game due to a blizzard (the game was a few months ago). So we saved the trip and decided this would be a great weekend to go as it was the USU spring football
scrimmage (when the team plays itself).
The boys cleaned us out of quarters...
We ate at one of Josh's favorite restaurants. It is a cute pizza place close to campus called "Fredricos." It is so GOOD! We had their wonderful pizza, heavenly garlic bread (I had 4 pieces...maybe 5), and the ham and cheese salad. I have been craving it ever since.
Then we went back to the hotel and the boys proceeded to be as wild as possible. It got pretty crazy. They love to stay in hotels (I don't know that the hotels love us to stay in them...)
That night we ate treats and watched "Yogi Bear". The boys loved the movie, it wasn't my favorite, but there are some seriously funny parts. I will do the rest of our Logan trip in another post. This one is too long already :)

I love your cookie Idea . . . I should do that next year! Instead we always do Birthday Cake instead for Malisia - she was born on Earth Day!
