Our first week of vacation started off with a bang because it was Ashton's official 6th birthday! We had told her a long time ago that she could choose anything she wanted to do as a family to celebrate her big day. We gave her lots of ideas- miniature golfing, bowling, a favorite restuarant. She knew exactly what she wanted our outing to be...a trip to Golden Corral!!!! So that's what we did! Surely this idea has Iowa roots because back in the day when we first moved there, the hockey team Tod worked for had a deal where you could go to the "Corral" for 2 bucks! For two seasons, we really took advantage of the offer...and Ashton remembers those days. Ever since we moved here, she has been asking to go there again. I didn't think she would actually remember and choose this as her b-day activity. But she did! We had a lot of fun- she loved the food, the other 4 of us tolerated it! Right as we were leaving, the power went out, so we were glad we had already eaten. I think she would have been so disappointed if we wouldn't have been able to go there. She got the High School Musical dolls that she really wanted, so all was well!
Also, this summer I found these awesome lesson plans on sugardoodle.com, so we have been doing those each day. Last week we studied the story of Jonah and the Whale, along with the ocean. It has been very fun and entertaining. The pictures are from the day that we make soft pretzels for one of the activities.
We are leaving for Utah in two weeks and are getting so excited! It has been far too long since we saw many of you!
