Leap Day

Leap Day only comes around every four years, so we couldn't let the day pass without doing something.


First we learned why we have leap year. Every year is 365 1/4 days. There are 6 extra hours in a year, so every 4 years we have an extra day to off set those yearly extra 6 hours. They kids thought it was pretty funny that if we didn't add in the extra day every 4 years, then Christmas would end up in July.


The kids made "leap" frogs to celebrate the day.
