Summer Living Part 3
This weekend marks our last weekend of the Summer. Tomorrow we officially begin our first week of homeschooling, we also begin our workshops at Village Home. For our workshops William will be taking Word World, Primary Math, and then William, Briana, and I will be taking a knitting class (we are on the waiting list for Organic Gardening). This will be each Tuesday for the next 10 weeks. Village Home is a huge community of homeschooling families and I look forward to building new relationships and support groups.
Camping, we just got back this morning from Champoeg State Park. We had fun and hung out with a lot of cool people. Some new friendships were made and some were rekindled. The kids had a blast playing and exploring with other kids. They saw plenty of spiders, bees, and a couple of frogs. William and Briana are definitely natural campers and enjoy the out doors immensely.
Briana, Vivian, Verity, and I did a bit of black berry picking. William, Ethan, and the two Chris’s went down and explored the river a bit. We roasted hot dogs, marshmallows, and there was even popcorn made over the fire. I think the highlight of the whole trip was the shadow puppet production of Where the Wild Things Are, spectacular and loved by everyone.
I am sad to see the summer go but so excited for fall. Already we have plans to attend the Renaissance Festival and the pumpkin patch.
I have my scheduled all worked out and I feel better knowing what each day will look like for us. Keep us in your prayers and we embarked on the new adventure.
