Amazing meal from Treetop Tapas and Grill (had this back in March! Haven't posted a lot lately catching up) This is part of an amazing spa experience with endless dining! It was a 9 course tasting menu and after (if you have room!) You can reorder your favourite dishes!

Ugh reading Wings of Fire The Hybrid Prince as a family as the school library got a copy in and the 10yo was able to snag it right away but pgs 65-112 are missing! Replaced with 177-224 :( I've also heard that some copies have pages 65-112 instead of 177-224. Seems like a big misprint occurred :(

My kid drew this and I though it might be fun to share for #invertefest! Shared with their permission. Artist's commentary: "This hermit crab is looking for a new home; this one doesn't fit."

A large swirling shell with an abstract crabby fellow sticking out. They are covered in swirls too, and labeled "hermit crab" in very tidy handwriting. The shell is tipping off a rock.

Went up to the plant store today and got some branches to make my own outdoor greenery planter :) I enjoy making these sometimes :) I'm not the best but I enjoy it and it's cheaper than paying pre-built especially as I already had the planter and the extras just needed to by the branches. 🎄
