If you've just found this blog, please check out the origin here.
Places to go that start with U:
*towns/cities
*Uncle Wendell's Bakery & BBQ
*Urban Grill
*the big umbrella sculpture downtown in Nollen Plaza
*University of Northern Iowa (!)
*University of Iowa
*Union Park (has the tallest rocket slide around, a free wading pool, and the Heritage Carousel)
*Union Railroad Bridge downtown (now a pedestrian bridge)
*Uptown Ankeny (restaurants, shops, Saturday Farmer's Market)
*Urbandale Public Library
Things to do that begin with U:
*talk/joke about UFOs
*draw an undecagon using the ultramarine crayon
*play UNO, United States games (there are many games out there that teach the names, shapes, facts, etc. about each state)
*use umbrellas (or just play with them if they're unnecessary)
*talk to all of the children's uncles (phone, email, etc.)
*go underwater
*buy new undies for everyone
*listen to music by U2 or Uncle Kracker or songs like "Use a Word," by Red Grammer, or "Up and Away," by Dave Matthews Band
*look for UPS trucks
*clean upstairs
*watch movies like Underdog or Up
*discuss body language that is universally understood
Foods that start with U:
ugli fruit (hybrid of grapefruit and mandarin oranges)
unshelled peanuts
upside down cake
Ugh, that was utterly uphill. Ultimately unyielding.
Favorite U Bible verses:
"Don't use bad language. Say only what is good and helpful to those you are talking to, and what will give them a blessing." Ephesians 4:29
"A truly wise person uses few words; a person with understanding is even-tempered." Proverbs 17:27
Not surprisingly (given the abruptness of this post), we only found one U during my son's ABC photography summer... It was in the stone on our front porch.
Upcoming post: letter V. It may be virtually the same length as this one!
