FRIDAY, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY

We had a camp-out with 2 fellow homeschooling families on Friday night. That was a blast. The boys slept in the tent, Brian and I slept in our camper and fun was had by all.

The next day, Saturday, we decided to find a campground to park our camper for the year. Brian found one online and we headed out for our 2 1/2 hour journey. On the way there we saw THE most gorgeous sunset.

We arrived at the campground by 9:30 pm. They were still open.
We signed in, sat up our camper, had a campfire and zonked out.

The next morning we got up early. The 4 younger boys played for a bit on Sunday before we headed back home.

The highlights of the campground are that it is smaller, has a stocked fishing pond, lots of trees, an indoor pool and wi-fi!

Gotta love that! Whoot!

We arrived home on Sunday afternoon with high hopes to get back to our camp site this weekend. This time, we're bringing fishing rods!

DAY 4: AUGUST 6TH 2009

We're packing for a mini-vacation. I'll post more about our homeschool on Monday when "school" opens back up!






Lest you think we are slackers, here are some pictures from one of our summer learning adventures.

Our eldest son, Kazz, and I attended a speech given by President Obama at our college. Neither of us had ever seen a sitting president give a speech. It was a long, hot day but we're glad to have had this opportunity.

Full disclosure: We didn't vote for him.
