Magabooking
So proud of and impressed with my little magabookers!! A description of what they say at the door is by each book. If you would like one as a gift or for yourself, just let me know and the kids will send it right to your door if you're out of our area. Everything they make is helping with their education!
Naturally Gourmet offers you the latest information in healthful cooking. Each recipe is simple and tastes great!
Story Time tells true character building stories that are 5-10 minutes long.
Peace Above the Storm helps you find freedom from worry, guilt, and fear. You'll like the short stories and Bible promises.
The Great Controversy shows the importance of the Bible throughout history. It has helped thousands to better understand the book of Revelation.
Just imagine them coming to your door! To cute.....!!....but they are good at this too! God has definitely been blessing them this summer!
Summer Wandering #1
We're doing some wandering this summer. During these times of wandering we will be doing something new, buying something new, going somewhere new, or experiencing something new.
Our first trip was just to the local grocery store. But we wandered the aisles and the produce section and came up with some new things we wanted to try.
Asia noodle bowl, Mango Tango drink, black apricots, and Teff flour.
Yum, yum, yum!!! Always good to try something new!!
River Rats
One of the fantastic summer programs that we have in our area is called River Rats. Its for kids ages 4 and up and they learn all sorts of science type things. There are activities, games, stories, crafts....and so much of it is hands on. Tons of learning fun!!
The first session a couple of weeks ago was on birds. The kids learned about bird beaks, bird calls, bird names, and the food birds eat.
Beach Fun!
The day after we got back from campmeeting we had a spur of the moment invitation to a friend's beach! What fun we had! The kids got to try kayaking and paddle boarding for the first time and loved it!!
Always happy just to play in the sand!
Campmeeting
June is a busy time, but June is a fun time! Even though Papa is super busy during this time and we hardly see him at all, the kids love their time at campmeeting!! A couple days this year at campmeeting it was even pretty chilly in the evening. Just below is Chaeli warming her hands with the toaster oven. We had just turned it on 500 for 30 minutes to heat up our "kitchen" tent. The air was nice and toasty! :)
The kids eating breakfast...a little cramped, but it did the trick!
Reading at a friend's tent. Sometimes it was just nice to skip all the planned meetings and relax with friends!
Elijah and I hung out together all the time. I went to his meetings. He went to my meetings. This is him and two little friends having fun!
A highlight this year was that Papa had a golf cart to use. The kids all loved getting a ride!!
One time in Junior 1, Chaeli and her friend shared their piano playing talent. Here they are playing "America the Beautiful."
Campmeeting was very nice this year. The weather was absolutely PERFECT! And I do mean perfect. No storms. Hardly any rain. Mild temperatures until the last hot day or two. It was nice and I'll take another one just like it next year. I just knew that it would still be campmeeting even without storms! :)
