Bean Life Science Museum

     We went to the Bean Life Science Museum.  There was hardly anyone there and it was so nice to get out of the house. We were also all happy to see animals.  Kat loves animals SOOO much!  Her favorites were the bears (they had the bears displayed in a really tall tree which was impressive), the birds (Kat loves seeing ducks outside so I think that why she liked seeing them in the museum and she liked the pink bird a lot - the flamingo), and the elephant (probably because it was absolutely huge).
     The displays that she really didn't like were all the lion displays.  She loves cats and she liked the tigers and snow leapers just not the lions.  I'm guessing she didn't like the lions for two reasons.  First, when we show her pictures of lions we always say "ROAR" and make a scary face.  Second, one of the lion displays was of the lion eating an antelope and it moved.  It was the only display that moved so I can understand her thinking it was alive and scary.

Playdough Volcano

  Kat and I just made the easiest playdough we've ever made!  We have made the playdough that uses mostly flour and we have made the playdough that uses mostly salt and I think we have made a couple others but I don't remember what they used.  Anyways, this one only uses conditioner and baking soda.  I love activities that I can do with Kat without having to go buy something from the store.  We just mixed about a tablespoon of conditioner and 2 tablespoons of baking soda.  However, my daughter was helping scoop, poor, and mix so the amount that actually made it into the bowl and stayed in the bowl is probably different than that.  Basically, you can just mix the 2 together slowly until you get what you want.  We ended up with a "moon sand" like feel and we made snowmen and just played with it.  When we were done playing with the playdough, we put vinegar in the bowl and created little explosions.  Kat loved that the most!  We also were able to do a bunch of explosions

Riding in a Bike Trailer

        I did something that I don't know if I have ever done before and if I have done it, I was probably a baby or a toddler.  I sat in a bike trailer!  It was so funny!  I hurt my foot while running so I couldn't run beside my husband while he biked so instead I sat behind him in the bike trailer.  We definitely got some weird looks by cars passing us and by people on the streets, but it was worth it.  We got to go to a duck pond as a family and feed the ducks so it was fun and worth the stares.  I thought about putting the cover on the bike trailer and pretending I was just a toddler in the back, but that would have been pretty squishy so I just owned it and smiled and waved at all the random strangers.  This was my view while in the bike trailer Here I am laughing

Time here at the MTC seems really long and it seems like I have been here for longer than a week.       This week i arrived at the MTC i got my name tag and meet my companion and district, we didn't have any time to unpack and we went straight to our first Korean class. the teacher spoke only Korean to us it was intense! our teacher is sister Wynn she is really nice and she teaches us a lot. the schedule for each day is pretty much the same, we wake up at 6:30 go to the gym
