Adventures in a New Land

Last weekend, we went on an adventure to a new land. Sean had told me about a "musical road" where there are treads on the asphalt that when you drive on it it plays a tune. While looking where it was located online, I found a nearby park with a pond. So we journeyed out to the new land. 

The musical road was pretty neat. We drove over it a couple times before the girls were bored of it. We found the beautiful Apollo park, the only large grouping of trees your eyes could see across the dry desert. It was a good size park with a large pond full of ducks and geese. The park had many play areas that the girls could trample all over. The walking paths were nice as well too. The girls found the different ducks and geese interesting to look at. We even looked up a few of their names online. 

We have had a good week so far at school and yesterday I surprised the girls with cookie decorating. I made the cookies during the day and after homework the girls sat at the counter and decorated their six sugar cookies. So now we have sugar cookies topped with more sugar! Yay!

Teacher parent conferences were this morning. Sean and I met with both girls teachers. The girls are getting a lot better in school but they still need to keep at it. 

Now we are home for the rest of the day. The girls just finished a movie filmed in Albuquerque called "Saige Paints the Sky". Now we are going to do some reading and get ready for lunch. 

Here's a peek at my backyard today:
