Our first week of homeschool

We decided to homeschool this year. It started out well, but oh my, I'm going to be busy!!! The older kids were cooperative and seem to enjoy spending more time with their younger siblings. We had a great time making art. Do you remember thumbprint art when you were a kid?

Here are a few pics from the week. It doesn't appear that much schoolwork was completed. I'll be sure to post more pics next week so we don't get turned in to the school police!

P.E. Class

Trout Lodge

We took the kids to Trout Lodge in Missouri for our summer vacation. It was good ole fashioned family fun.  The kids had their choice of many different activities. Horseback riding, archery, rope swing, miniature golf and fishing to name just a few.

Cate and Rusty had a great time on the trail.

We couldn't keep Colin and Gunnar away from the miniature golf course.

 The kids had a blast fishing with daddy!

The vacation might have been a little too scheduled for daddy, but we had a fabulous time!
