First Week of Summer


This has started off to be a pretty good summer. Monday the kids set their goals for the week and drew their chores. Tuesday we went to the library to get books that would help us learn about our subject for the week. The subject that was chosen was birds. We learned about killer birds an hummingbirds and tropical birds with all sorts of little ones in between. What a fun week we had reading and watching the birds out side.
Since everyone was able to accomplish their goals this week we went hiking up Battle Creek canyon. We have never been up to the water fall so we packed a lunch and off we went.
The water fall was my favorite part of our trip. We enjoyed the time we were able to spend together looking for leaves and rocks and birds. We even found a fossil of a leaf. :)
It was a very fun afternoon. I can't wait until Monday when we pick our next subject and activity.We just may have to do this little hike with our cousins from Texas when they get here in July.
