Games from around the world

We had a fun game night. The girls played Sheep and Hyena (Sudan), Hawk and Hens (Zimbabwe), Chinese Jump rope (China), Kim's memory Game (England), and good old American horseshoes/ring toss.
-I remember having a Chinese jump rope when I was young and playing it all the time with my sisters. I knew the girls would like it, but did not anticipate how difficult it would be to find them and much more pricey than I thought. But the girls loved them!

check out Kenya's hops!

And I couldn't believe the snow on our way home!-

Selling Cookies

Commerce Bank

Mark at Commerce Bank did a fabulous job with the girls. He taught them how banks work, what they do, how money is made, and showed us every inch of the building. The fourth floor is not complete yet, but he took us up there just because it is the tallest building in Rock Springs. haha. We went into the security deposit box vault and in the basement, saw how the coin and dollar machines work, and even pretended to be the board of trustees in a meeting.

All the wood from this table is from trees in Green River. The legs of the table are really cool pieces of twisted bark.

Rock Springs Airport

The airport tour was fabulous! The girls saw the airport and learned about going through security and where the bags go. Then they got to go out to the airplane hanger. The hanger was built before the 1920's and they even have a picture of Amelia Earhart under the exact same hanger. The girls got to watch the FedEx guys load the airplane and then check out a helicopter. Next, they got to see the giant firetrucks they use to put out airplane fires. The girls were given free rain over the entire area and were climbing through and on top of the fire trucks. They loved it! The fire fighters let them try on their gear. And the girls went home with a little model airplane to build.

After all that I still think their favorite part of the night is when I had to cram all of them into my van to get over to the hanger. Lets just say my van wasn't made to fit 12 kids, luckily it was only a half mile away, so the screaming and laughing only lasted a couple minutes. haha
