Leaping for Leap Year!

leapin' for leap year!

Happy Leap Year!!!


From Wikipedia:
"A leap year (or intercalary or bissextile year) is a year containing one additional day (or, in the case of lunisolar calendars, a month) in order to keep the calendar year synchronized with the astronomical or seasonal year.[1] Because seasons and astronomical events do not repeat in a whole number of days, a calendar that had the same number of days in each year would, over time, drift with respect to the event it was supposed to track. By occasionally inserting (or intercalating) an additional day or month into the year, the drift can be corrected. A year that is not a leap year is called a common year."


What will you be doing on this rare Leap Year Day? Well, one thing for sure, we'll be jumping around, probably on the trampoline, since it is such a sunny beautiful day. 

Have fun, jumping, leaping, or maybe even possibly soaring!


Your Soaring Mama,

Mandy
