Painting Nails With Friends. :)

Today we went with our friends and painted their nails. It was so much fun! We did them red and green for Christmas. Well, at least some of

 us did them red and green. :) MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Aquarium and Ikea

Cool, wavy lights...

Petting non-venomous stingrays.

NEMO!!!

I like this guy.

What do I say about this?

Blurry starfish...the lighting's REALLY weird.

Sea horse.

"petting" a starfish.

ALLIGATOR!

Pretty...

I tried to get a good picture of Will.

But he kept turning away...

Yes, this owl is real.

Goofy.

We drank LOTS of water because it was so hot!!!

All lined up.

And from the back...

Will got tired.

It was a fun, hot day. Thank goodness the aquarium was inside!!! Lots of animals to look at.------------------------What more do I need to say??????

Homemade ice cream...YUM!

Go to the bottom and read up.

YUM!!!! Enjoy your ice cream!!!!

After 5 minutes, take out the bag.

...and then SHAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Make sure you shake for at least 5 minutes. This doesn't seem like a long time, but when your shaking a bag of melting ice...it seems like FOREVER! But keep shaking, otherwise it doesn't work.

(Watch the video at the very bottom)

Add the SEALED small bag...

Next, fill a GALLON Ziploc bag half full with ice. Then put 2 cups coarse salt in it.

Take a small Ziploc and put 1 cup of the mixture in it. Do this for 4 bags.

(everyone had to whisk it...)...yes, everyone.

Put them in the bowl and whisk all of the ingredients together.

Add half a cup of sugar and 2 teaspoons vanilla.

Pour them both into a large bowl...

and two cups half and half.

Take two cups whipping cream...

Heavy Whipping cream. So fattening, but so good...

This was a very tasty treat, and also very messy. Make sure you do the "shaking" outside!

Here is the video! (turn OFF my music)

A fun day at MOSI!

We always eat lunch here.

Cooper spelt his name out of pretzels. (yes, that is a jelly stain.)

Building a pyramid.

MAGIC!!!

ELECTRIC!!!

Very business like...

We were VIP's.

I-max movie.

~

On Thursday my family and I went to Mosi! We went with our family friends, the Palm's. We saw an I-max movie, Future Flyer's, (Something like that?) walked around the whole building, played on the playground, and ate lunch. Then we had to RUSH to make it to cross country practice. Overall, I think everyone had a fun time!

Happy Birthday Macie!

This guy smells like popcorn. NO kidding! These 2 dogs were funny. :)

Birds circled through hoops.....

.......and parrots put flowers in vases!

My family and I went to Busch Gardens yesterday for my friend, Macie! It was her 11th B-day! We all had a lot of fun. We saw a show called Creature Castaways. It was really good. Lots of the animals did awesome tricks. :)
