Other Activities this Week

Monday we had Liam.

the white one is no where near as big as the brown one

Tuesday  there was a Sophmore/Junior awards lunch at the local high school Nick attends for one class that he and a parent was invited to.  I went with him.  He won an award for the highest average in the Marketing class he is taking.

Wednesday was our 20th wedding anniversary!

Thursday We had Liam again.  Emmie had dance and we left to go on our first camping trip of the year.

Camping was a little more complicated then usual because of the stubborn goat that will only feed one of her babies.  Someone had to drive back a few times a day to make sure the baby got to eat but it was fine.  Our campsite was a little less then 30 minutes from the house and I got up each morning at 6 to come home and feed.  Then the boys came later in the day.  Saturday there were some bad storms moving in and we were under a tornado watch.  Instead of sending the boys I came back with Alex a little early Saturday (around 3)  trying to beat the storm that wasnt supposed to start until 4:45. He was taking care of the baby while I did feed for the other animals and about 15 minutes after we got home huge black clouds starting rolling in and a few minutes later a big bolt of lightning struck the ground in the field across the street from us.  It was so loud! The whole ground shook.  We apologized to the goat for cutting his feed short and put them back in their stall and headed back to camp.  It wasn't storming as bad there but there was lots of rain and some thunder and lightning that kept us in the whole night.

Anthony and Christian always wear a shirt when they swim but this time didn't.  And they both got sunburned.  The spray on sunscreen we used was not very good just as I was afraid of.  Chelsea and Liam came up and visited most of the day on Friday.  Liam had a good time playing with the children.  Alex rescued a toddler from under the water.  His mother was sitting in the water with another baby and the toddler wandered a little too far, lost his balance and went under the water and could not stand up.  Alex pulled him out.  We had a campfire two nights and got to eat delicious hot smoes and peach and apple pies.  Alex caught a good size fish late Thursday evening and cooked him over the fire and ate him too.

One of my biggest pet peeves about camping is people who do not leash or chain up their dogs.  Our dog is obedient but she is a dog.  If a squirrel comes by shes going to chase it.  If strangers walk by she will bark. When we are at home she runs free but when we camp she is always on a leash or cabled.  Emmie was playing down by the lake shore at our campsite looking for shells and rocks when this dog came running at her and started to chase her.  Luckily it didn't bite her but she was terrified!!  Then the next day we were at the playground when some people walked a different dog on a leash to the playground then set it free inside the playground fence.  It chased her up the slide.  Even though it didn't hurt her it really scared her...again....Really people, put your dogs on a leash.  It protects them and other people/dogs around them.

I hope you had a great week!

Happy Homeschooling!
