A Few things that have happened around here

We revamped our School wall.  Still on the theme of Excellence, but much different than before.  The girls came up with a new word and we took a day or two to create and color it while listening to audio books.  A great summer school!

 We finally finished our year of Ocean Creatures study from Apologia.  We loved it so much we're planning to do the rest of the series.  Each week or so, we chose a creature we'd been studying to model and add to our ocean boxes. The girls can tell you weird and wonderful facts about all sorts of ocean creatures now! Next up is Flying Creatures. Other than new pictures for the frames, Mommy is not sure how to turn this ocean display into sky...

We are swimming lots, and spending many evenings on the beach.  The rainy season isn't so rainy this year, so there are lots of chances.  And now that we need to find new friends... pool and beach are great for fun alone and finding new people to hang out with.

We are also getting more mileage out of the park on our road.  A rare storm blew through and brought down a tree.  The three kids enjoy playing with the branches - and the newly done playground.

  1. Hey have you done Land Animals of the 6th Day yet? We should be finishing that one up this year. Maybe we can swap textbooks? I also have the astronomy book ( unless I gave that one away already!)
