Wigwam

We've been learning about the early Native Americans and there are the wigwams that we made.

Chaeli's birthday

Now back tracking a bit....we got back to AUGUST 13, when a special little girl turned 7 years old!! It turned out to be quite a wonderful day. Some friends and church members had us out to their place where we had a "tea party" lunch for Chaeli and a friend, opened gifts, and then had some water fun!

Mackinaw City

For our first day of homeschool this year (August 23), we went on a little adventure up to Mackinaw City. While there we played at a park, ate ice cream, and visited Colonial Michilimackinac. It was a pretty fun day. Here are a few pictures from the day:

Ice Skating

For the past 10 weeks, the kids have been taking a "learn to skate" class held at the local arena. They had so much fun and took right to the ice. We are so proud of how well they did! Tonight was the last class and it was an open skate for the parents to join in on. Then they had snacks and handed out the completion awards!

No Training Wheels

At the beginning of the summer, Chaeli learned to ride without training wheels. Just a few weeks ago, it became Dillon's turn to shed the extra wheels! He picked it up so quickly and is doing so well!! And he loves it too! :)

Misc Summer Pictures

My Tupperware boys! They have so much fun with it!

Our little daredevil on giddyup horsey!

Anyone want a care package like this?? :)

Sportin' the sunglasses just how he likes them!

My budding pianists (but cover your ears!)

Garage Sale

Back in July when we went down to Battle Creek for a wedding, we also had a garage sale at Grammy's house. Even Chaeli and Dillon got in on the fun and sold some candy they had collected at the 4th of July parade. They did amazingly well!! It sure does pay to be cute! :)
