Field Trip - Fire Station

We had our first co-op field trip! Not everyone came but a large portion of us were able to make it! 

West Lafayette Fire Station

 They showed us around their living quarters. 

 

Spartan Race

 Nephi did the Spartan race and got third place! He actually got his ticket as a Christmas gift last year, so he had plenty of time to practice.

 He got his friend Jeremy a ticket for his birthday.

 Sonnet and Cecily

 Charlotte playing in the sand. She is getting so big and funny.

 I love this picture of Jeremy.

Outdoor Secrets

 Frog Life.

 Creek visits after dinner. 

 Clay Mountain 

 

 We have been reading this book after dinner and then letting it take us on an adventure. So far, we have learned about apple blossoms, golden-rod, and the horse chestnut. I got this book at conference after listening to a talk on how important it is for your child to love the place they live and getting back to having roots. Making deeper connections with their family home. 

Girls Camp Out

Clairana decided to have a couple girls over and have a camp out. They had a great time and stayed up super late running the woods on the Gator. Levi slept outside so in case they needed anything we could hear them - we did hear them. All. Night. Long. I ended up shutting my windows at the wee hours of the morning.

 Night Time Walks

 Creek Time

 Gator Rides

 Setting Up. They originally were going to camp down by the creek, but C wasn't feeling so well so we changed locations to make it easier on them.  

 Books they read around the fire.

 

Extras

Nephi and Lotte. I was the first person out of my Sunday school class heading to nursery and Nephi still beat me to pick up Lotte.

Coraline's new birthday outfit. She loves jumpers. 

 New pillows!

 

Around the House

 Clairana's favorites - Cashmere goats. 

She got them last Christmas to learn the process of making her own yarn. 

 Zona's favorite place - with the littles. 

 So Cute! Sunday Best!

 These two are growing closer every day - reading books together most mornings. 

 

Co-op

 Boys. Boys. Boys. And this is just a portion of the boys. They were playing basketball, and a mom got their picture during lunch. 

 Middle School Science. 

 Heading out to co-op!
