To celebrate the end of the school year, we took the kids miniature golfing. Since it was a weekday and a little breezy and cool, we had the place to ourselves. (Thankfully.) We have never done this before so we need to learn a few rules. I think the kids pushed their balls around more than putting them. They had a good time except for Kaylee who fell twice and needed a nap. Later she did say that she had fun. I'm sure it will be on our list of things to do again this summer.
We are done!
They all were well ahead of Mark and me. I don't think it was all because Mark and I were so terrible at it.
Krista's turn.
Kendrick went around faster than anyone.

Education Fair
On April 18, Krista participated in the homeschool Education Fair. Her topic was The Pony Express. When she did this presentation for me so I could video tape it, there was a lot of noise around, and she was distracted a few times. Also, she seemed a little warm. I thought for 9 years old she did quite well. (In my humble mother's opinion.)

Old-Fashioned School Day
Our homeschool group has an annual "Old-Fashioned School Day". It is held in a one-room school house, and children are encouraged to dress in time-appropriate clothes. The theme for this year was Davy Crockett and beavers and their character traits. The verse was "Let everything be done decently and in order". We learned a song about keeping our rooms clean and everything in its place. (Hope that one sticks.) The children put together a book about beavers and Davy Crockett. A trapper came and talked about trapping and gave more information about beavers. The children then were given a small piece of beaver fur, a frame, thread and needle to sew their fur onto the frame. Lunch was a packed sack lunch eaten on the grounds. There were several planned games the favorite of which was tug-of-war. All had a great time, and if Kendrick's grass stained clothes were any indication of how he enjoyed his day, he had a fantastic time.
