We did a cool project this weekend

We started with plaster-of-paris and plastic molds. The kids pressed their prints into the plaster. After they dried we painted and sealed them. Then we glued on mosaic tiles around the edges. On Samantha's we used to mosaic tile grout to finalize the hand prints.

No dragonflies!

We took a long drive out in the desert to go to Boyce Thompson Arboretum. Who would have thought you could grow a huge garden in the desert. The trip was supposed to be for scouts, but that fell through. We were also there to go on a "Dragonfly walk" but it was windy. Who would have thought dragonflies don't come out in 5-10 mph winds? Huh? Oh well, we ditched the walk and had a nice hike around the Arboretum on our own.
