Grand America Tea


We took Grandma to a Christmas Tea at the Grand America hotel.  The kids had hot chocolate.  Everything was yummy.




Afterwards, we walked around the hotel admiring the holiday decorations.

Utah: Living Planet Aquarium and Penguin Visit

 

Haven't been to the aquarium in a long time.




The big kids and I did a VR experience.


John, Arthur and Sienna got to meet the penguins!




And we got to see Santa, just in time for the big day.

Sienna Field Trips

4th graders get lots of exciting field trips.  Sienna went to the Environmental Nature Center and learned about how native Californians used the land.

And to San Juan Capistrano Mission.
