Bison Day 2022

Sadly we broke tradition and didn't go to Antelope Island for National Bison Day this year even though it was on the calendar for months. Jeremy had to work and I didn't know how a couple of us would do on the trip as we were trying to get over our colds so we didn't go. Sigh.

Instead, "Otter the Bison" joined in some of our daily activities:

 

Attempting "sliced baked potato loaded nachos" from shelfcooking.com but I think I need to cut them thicker next time and not layer them on the cookie sheet. They still tasted good.

Slicing bread.

Snuggling... quite a bit.

Joining us in watching a Friend to Friend broadcast from churchofjesuschrist.org for Primary age children and their families.

Guarding treats brought over from a friend. Unfortunately Otter the Bison didn't do the best job as Jet got hold of the last of the Butterfinger like treats and Jeremy didn't get any when he got home from work. Sigh.

I would have liked to have gone to Antelope Island to celebrate by seeing the bison there but you celebrate how you can, right?

Friend to Friend

Recently there was a Friend to Friend event for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It was for Primary age children and their parents, Primary leaders, etc. We watched it as a family. They talked about being like Jesus. They had activities the children could follow along with. They had music. They talked about children in different parts of the world. There was a lot to enjoy and learn from.

Lucky chose to take notes as he was watching. I love that. I hope the boys were able to get something good out of it. We are able to watch segments of the event again if we want to talk about certain things in our family. I also love that.
