"Mountain climbers commonly refer to altitudes above 8,000 meters as the 'death zone' because at those heights there is not enough oxygen to sustain life. There is a spiritual equivalent to the death zone. If we spend too much time in faithless places, seemingly well-intended voices deprive us of the spiritual oxygen we need."
Shipped the book "Room" which we sold merchant fulfilled and James picked up 12 books at the post office. We also sold a Prentice Hall Chemistry book for $27.00.
We had breakfast and a "Come Follow Me" lesson with the kids.
We showed a picture of and talked about "The Last Supper" and the sacrament.
We talked about always remembering the Savior and what he has done for us.
It was all about the tea party this morning although Rowan kept checking the animal traps to see if they caught any bunnies or rats.
We got out the nice tablecloth, a beautiful table runner that Lois made on her machine which was covered with flowers and set the table with my nice china. I made pink baby cupcakes and Ruby helped me make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with the crust cut off. We had cherries and strawberries, granola bars and trail mix to put in the beautiful stacked food servers.
We decorated our hats and wore our boas to the party. Grandpa and Rowan were the servers.

The servers joined in tasting the delicious food.
They did not want to have their picture taken though.
The pink cupcakes were a big favorite.
Ruby chose beautiful yellow flowers for her hat to match her yellow "scarf" as Lola calls them.
Grandpa took the kids on a Razr ride both this afternoon and this evening. This evening they saw 7 elk and Ruby spotted a porcupine.
The kids watched the movie "Zootopia" while gramma worked on her blog.
After two Razr rides the kids were ready for showers and then we ate fried spaghetti for dinner. Instead of a movie this evening the kids played a game of Uno.
