Good Books, Good Weekend
We are back from “roughing it” over the weekend! Our theme last week was camping, survival, and explorers. We really found some great books. If you want an incredible true story, check out “Down the Colorado, John Wesley Powell, the one-armed Explorer”. Wow! That’s a good one. Also, we learned a lot from “Follow the … Read more
Gear Gouging
I’ve learned something. When it comes to looking for outdoor apparel, it pays to shop around! We have several outdoor trips planned and we want to make sure everyone is prepared with the right gear but I wasn’t prepared for the sticker shock on the performance pants, shirts, and boots!

Fresh Fruit at Your Fingertips!
I ran across the coolest website today. It’s www.pickyourown.org. It provides listings of local farms where you can pick strawberries, blueberries, veggies and more. I think it’s a fun summer activity because it’s something the kids can do and then hopefully be inspired to EAT the fruit since they helped!:) We also have a few … Read more
Farm Week!
Our first theme week for “Reading and Road Trips” is underway! We had a ball reading about cows, equipment, feed and life on the farm. I tried to get a variety of books for the boys and it seems to be working (so far). Garrett was over it after our first book but that’s okay, … Read more
