Penguin Fun!

One of my favorite memories with the Grands was, having read Mr. Popper’s Penguins together, watching the Jim Carrey version of the movie. In the movie version, Mr. Popper is trying to accomodate the penguins in a New York penthouse. The kids were literally falling off the couch laughing - pure delight.

Another fun follow-up is inviting Penguins into your house with Google 3D. I practiced first, and the kids pretended, of course, but the results are fun pictures with Penguins in your living room! HERE are the instructions.
