Education


So Stetson and Evelyn went backpacking with their cousins, uncle and dad to Southern Utah. They saw lots of beautiful arches, caught some frogs, played in water, camped, and walked and walked and walked and walked some more. They also got to do some rock climbing and enjoy cousin time.




We've enjoyed several days at the park with nice warm weather!

We went as a family and picked up five more baby chicks to add to our already laying flock of nine. Each of the kids were excited to pick out their very own chick. They have even named them all. Ezra named his "chocolate" cracker, Bristol named hers cupcake, Hailey named hers tickles, Evelyn named hers Kowea, and Stetson named his smokey. 

We have also bought supplies to fix up all our bikes and are looking forward to going for a family bike ride.

Evelyn and Hailey participated in a 'Writing Camp' where they learned creative ways to come up with ideas, played lots of games, had some s'mores, and enjoyed food and friends!

I am sure that our learning will not end this summer as we enjoy family reunions, camping, gardening, yard work, family projects, hiking, parks, swimming, kayaking, and whatever other adventures we choose to embark on. We've already had our biggest learning experience with welcoming baby Silas into our home and learn how to care for and keep him safe.

End of Co-op


Heart and Mind Common Wealth

 Yesterday was the last day of our Co-op group. We gathered at Mack park for a pot-luck lunch. Everything was yummy and after a short time there we were graced with the sun coming out and warming us all up. The kids have all made many great friends and we have had many great experiences. 

I think that the network of our Co-op families will be the most amazing asset of friends and educators to help our family with their education needs. Already we have been a part of an amazing play, Pre-Algebra class, Dance lessons, Shakespeare Class and many other fun activities. 

We are excited for our summer and look forward to lots of camping and outdoor activities!
