Homeschool Adventures

We went to the Discovery Science Center in Orange County recently and had a great time! Jared and Noah learned about mummies, weather, and dinosaurs the day we visited, and that didn't begin to cover all the other exhibits they have. We got a family membership, so we'll definitely be going back again. Oh, and Noah had a great time scaling the climbing wall from one side to the other--it's pretty tricky, but he's pretty strong and doesn't give up. The hole in the back yard is also getting a lot deeper, little by little. We have the easy up over it so that on hot days, some digging can still get done. I wonder what we'll do with all the rocks we're digging up? Hmmmm. . . . .

The Last 6 Weeks. . .

Sorry it has been so long since the last post. The last month and a half has just flown by, as we've all been busy with life. Brooke's been to the homecoming dance, Dallin's been marching every day of the week except Thursday and Sunday, John's been playing tenor sax instead of alto in jazz band and concert band, Chris has been learning guitar so he can then pass on his knowlege to the guitar class he has this year, and Staci, Jared, and Noah have been having a blast seeing some cool buildings in downtown LA. We also had our family picture (see to the right under our profile) taken by our favorite photographer who is so patient with all of us. It was quite an amusing experience not only taking our family picture, but individual shots and "just kid" shots. The funniest was probably the "just mom and dad" pictures, though, because Chris was really making Staci laugh!! Life is good.
