Potential and Kinetic Energy

We learned about the different types of energy today. Mallorie made a boat with a propellor to demonstrate potential and kinetic energy.

This is the first attempt, the cardboard only lasted about six runs.

We switched to a plastic boat for the rest.

It worked! We even gave a Lego girl a ride.

Fire Belly Toad

We have four new pets. Thanks to the library's summer reading program we have fire belly toads. They are cute and jumpy. Above is their habitat, I hope it is big enough to keep them happy because they can live for 20 years.

This is them all smooshed together in a corner.

This is their food. 

2-4 crickets every 2-3 days. We have 24 crickets. They are almost as cute as the toads. Their names are Giant, Shiny, Lily, and Rainbow Dash. 

Tooele Arts Festival

Every year we eat dinner the the arts festival in Tooele. 

Matthew waits all year for the bratts from the Catholic Church. He will have this a few times this weekend. We all eat then check out the talent and always find stuff we want to buy.

The food was so yummy and the weather was perfect.

The world's dumbest stroller, but super cute girl.
