Union Pacific Article on the Avalanche

Scott gets the UP newsletter and they printed a little article about the avalanche.  Doesn't go into detail about what had happened or anything.  The picture shows how buried the crews were.

Mystery Dinner

I saw this on Sugardoodle.net and thought it might be fun to do with the boys.  We'll have to do this to the girls when we get them back from Utah. 

Course 1

 Ice, goldfish, napkin, chocolate syrup, Lemon-Lime Soda

 Ice, goldfish, Ice Cream, chocolate syrup, Lemon-lime soda

 No spoon? Gotta get creative.

Course 2

 Deviled egg, gravy, corn, fork, spoon

Seth thought the gravy was beans so he was excited for his plate.

 Mashed potatoes, ants on a log, ham slice, spoon, knife

You can tell he wasn't thrilled when he saw this plate.

Course 3

 Ice, knife, chocolate syrup, mint (really a cookie since we didn't have any mint leaves), lemon-lime soda

 Fork, toothpick, napkin, chocolate syrup, lemon-lime soda

A little happier since it's all sugar on his plate.  I just noticed dad gave him a little extra cookie.

Course 4

 Ice, mashed potatoes, knife, water, chocolate syrup

Ice, deviled egg, knife, chocolate syrup, lemon-lime soda

Another one he wasn't thrilled with.

They didn't get to see the previous list they chose so each time they looked at the menu it was a guess as to which one was what that they liked on the plate before.

Here's the menu:
