We had a super fun weekend with Jon. He surprised us by coming home early on Friday -- he actually snuck up on us while we were shopping for Father's Day. What a sneak! We were so excited to see him. Since he was home a day earlier than planned, he wanted to do something different than usual.
That turned out to be a trip to Antelope Island. I haven't been there since high school, but I do remember that you stay away from the beaches because of all the nasty bugs. Unfortunately, the kids still wanted to run down to the water's edge. At first everyone was totally freaked out by the "ground" that actually turned out to be a sheet of bugs, but then the girls got over it -- Kale never did.
And quite frankly, neither did I. Once the bugs were disturbed, they were flying all over the place. Gross!
We went to the visitors center and watched a movie about antelope island being a bird preserve. During the movie, Hallie turns to me and says, "Aren't we going to see any animals that aren't birds or bugs?" It made me laugh.
Aside from the bugs, the kids had a great time hiking around and spying out the buffalo.
Jon was being his usual funny self and told the kids that he had spotted some humans up at the top of the trail. He kept talking about what kind of things they ate, what they would look like, etc. as though they were wild animals. Well, we decided to turn around before getting to the top, and Sky was pretty put out because we hadn't gotten to see any humans! Super funny.
Sky had her music class program on Saturday, and she loved it so much! I love watching her in class because she is definitely one of the most animated and she always sings all the solfege right when she's supposed to. What a smart little girl she is!
Father's Day was a fun day of hanging out with Jon and the Hansen's. They're so great to always let us come and hang out for as long as we can.
What a great Father's Day Weekend! Jon is such a fun Dad. We loved seeing all the animated little faces at Antelope Island. Janay - you look so at ease teaching that little music class. That must be the hardest age to teach, but it is amazing what they learn even when they are so little. Good work!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the Ragnar! If nothing else, you will appreciate Jon's experiences there the past few years.
