Shooting

So today I decided it was time to get rid of some of the presents we havent been able to return. I am SO sick of them sitting on our living room floor making our apt look smaller than it already is so I put them all in a pile by the door to take to DI. When Dillon got home from school he had a better idea. We loaded them up and headed out to Beaver Dick Park just outside of Rexburg. We had these particular drinking glasses that we tried taking back to Kmart. The oh so funny girl working was honestly going to give us 1 penny for 4 glasses so 2 pennies total. She really really was going to put it on a gift card for us, we told her no thank you, we'd just keep them. Well we got 4 sets of drinking glasses and thus did NOT need these ones. So...........

Needless to say...those cups are NO MORE!!! :) It was so much fun! And while we were out there we looked for frogs by the river since we are doing a lesson on frogs in preschool and the girl teaching wants as many real frogs as possible. Sadly we only found one but it was definately still fun! Here he is in the only thing we had to put him in...a coke cup. (sorry you cant see him very well, i was scared to take the lid off, he jumps HIGH!!)

LOL great story... I tried to find frogs for my lesson last semester. My first blog ever was about that frog hunting experience - we never did find any frogs. Glad that you found one! :)

Can I just tell you how your dear, sweet mommy can't get over the fact that you shot "perfectly good glasses"!!!! I personally think it looks like fun!

That's right Lyndi, there are thirsty children somewhere that will never get to have a drink from a glass glass because they have been SHOT UP! And funny, Heather, I was just thinking the same thing. Hopefully someone who blogstocks you Heidi did not give you those glasses and someday you WILL wish that you could replace all your broken glasses with some that only cost 2 cents. LOL You guys are goofy. Love ya, Mom
