Hello!
We spent last week in Park City, Utah and I would go back in a minute! We absolutely loved it there…the weather, no humidity, being in the mountains, but still being “able to see out,” the laid back feeling and lots to do! I would put this vacation in my top 5! Loved it!! Have lots to share with you, but need to spend time editing pictures…which I do not like to do!! Belch!
Anyway…We landed at 6:00 on Friday night at the airport, drove home, Jack and Jason switched bags, got back into the car and drove to Minneapolis because Jack had a regional track meet on Saturday.
Sam and I stayed home.
Anywy, Sam headed to bed (he’s been sleeping in the basement because it is nice and cool) and then (of course) he came up into my room with the dreaded look on his face.
Sam: “You need to come downstairs.”
Me instantly knowing this isn’t going to be good “No.”
Sam: “Mom. You have to.”
Me: “I don’t want to.”
Sam:”MOM!”
Me: “Is it a snake?”
Sam: “No. But you have to see it.”
I don’t want to….but I pull up my big girl pants (only half way) and headed downstairs.
Sam: ” Look…”
This petrified, hard as a rock, frog was dead…on Sam’s blankets.
Please understand, I was tired and really just wanted to go to bed.
Me: “Gross. I’m not touching it.”
Sam: “It’s on my blanket.”
Me: “Turn away.” I then proceeded to pull his blanket out fast so the frog would just stay were he was. He did, but bumped against the wall with a thud. (gag)
Me: “Here you go.” (handing my 6’3″ son his defrogged blanket)
Sam: “What about the frog?”
Me: “I’m not touching it…are you?”
Sam: “No.”
So I went upstairs and got a plastic bowl to place over the hard dead frog. We were both very pleased with our braveness.
PS
Jason wasn’t too pleased we left it for him to take care of when he got home two days later.
