What We've Been Up To

Meg's tomato plants are going strong!


Sweet little hummers


We walk, talk and destress down by the ocean
 Someone had built all these little rock structures.  How they get them to balance is super cool.



 Meg got to work with Astro on the lunge line
 Meg trail riding Triggy - an Icelandic horse
 We read the the following two books over the summer. The one by Leslie Connor was okay.  We finished it but not a super memorable read.
 The Outsiders was a hit.  Both Owen and Meg gave it five out of five stars.  This is a great middle school read.  It does have smoking, drinking and violence in it which were great topics to discuss.  But the overall themes are friendship, loyalty, and hope. Lots of great discussion with this book.  The kids followed it up by watching the movie. I was surprised by how much the kids liked this one!
 Mad Libs always a hit in our homeschool days.  Amy send us this one and we are still loving it!
 We are currently reading these two - and well lets just say we are determined to finish them but they are not favorites by anyone in our house.
our diffusers are going and we are currently loving this smell:
 Off to Sequoia Natural Park.  Meg has been wanting to go here since we moved here.  It was amazing!


 so beautiful and peaceful



 The almighty General Sherman   - The biggest tree in the US.

 Meg always is out front leading the way.  She can out hike everyone except Pascal.

 "Mom, can I take this trail marker home ....it would make an awesome souvenir."
 We did hiked 10 miles and then drove 30 min. out of our way to make it to a Chick-fil-A!
 I saw this guy out in the neighborhood rucking with his kids.  High fives to this guy!!

Flash back to this cutie who has always had her own style!  


Hello September - what do you have in store for us?
