Snowbird, again Part 2

These are a few more fun pics from our last week at Snowbird. We had a pizza party and even even played in the room with beach balls. I think my favorite was eating dinner out on the  balcony. Easy Mac anyone???

Stranger Danger

This was my conversation with Kelsie after preschool today:

Me: Hi Kels! How was preschool?
Kels: Good

Me: What did you learn about today?
Kels: Um… fun stuff

Me: Really, more specific?
Kels: Um, fun play stuff

Then I finally got out of her that they learned about dinosaurs.

Me: Did you learn a song about dinosaurs?
Kels: NO (but then she started singing something about happy dinosaurs and baby dinosaurs)

Me: Hey Kels, I heard you learned about stranger danger today.
Kels: Oh

Me: So, what’s the rule? We never talk…
Kels: About strangers.

Me: Um, right. We never talk TO strangers. We also never take candy…
Kels: From a stranger. Or a dog. Just only from people.

Me: Hmm. (It took everything inside me not to laugh out loud) So, let’s talk about who strangers are. Is Brittany a stranger?
Kels: No

Me: Is Grandma Suzy a stranger?
Kels: No

Me: Is that boy walking down the street a stranger?
Kels: No

Me: Yes he is! People we don’t know are strangers.
Kels: Well, he’s just my friend.

Me: No he’s not. We don’t know him. Strangers are people we don't know. What about those construction workers at Gay’s house? Are they strangers?
Kels: Um, no they are only Gay’s strangers.

--  Generally I'm a pretty patient person but I could see this conversation was going nowhere. We’ll try again another day with the stranger danger rules. Silly girl.

Trophy

Larry's birthday was yesterday. He stopped by after work so that Kelsie could give him his birthday present: its a fish trophy for being the best dad ever. That's exactly what she told him. Now that will melt your heart.

Snowbird, again Part 1

I think I've mentioned that we love Snowbird, right? Ok, so that might have been a little sarcastic. But needless to say we were really excited when our other week came around. This time was a little tricky because it was only Kelsie's second week of preschool so we weren't able to stay the whole week like we did in July. At least it was during Labor Day so we got a freebie day off work to enjoy the mountain. Its crazy fun up there this time of year because Oktoberfest is going on. We did plenty of the usual (hiking, swimming, playing) and just like last year the girls got their faces painted again. The weather was perfect and we had a blast!
