Funny Faces at IHOP
A Day of Ice Skating and Roller Skating
The big kids have been having lots of fun as summer winds down...
We went to two final programs for the summer reading program at the public library. Both kids got picked from the audience to be in a magic show at a special ice cream social for kids who met their reading goal. A few nights later we went to a roller skating party sponsored by the library for the older kids who reached their goal. The rollerskating party was on the same day the kids went on a field trip to an indoor ice skating rink! Margaret was thrilled because she finally got to wear a special ice skating costume that was a hand me down from our friend Nikki's daughter. I came across a matching outfit for her American Girl doll- complete with ice skates- so we were excited about the day she and her doll would get to go skating! The kids earned some food coupons for all of the reading they did and we redeemed them this week. Margaret felt very special ordering a pizza online for free! We ate it as we watched the opening ceremony for the Olympics. On the skating day we also went to IHOP and got free "Funny Faces" which are the BIGGEST chocolate chip pancakes I've ever seen! AP finished his- but Margaret and Abby opted to take home goodie bags!
