Ninja at Nine

Happy Birthday, Brent!

Brent has enjoyed watching the TV show American Ninja Warrior. A Ninja Nation gym recently opened here in Frisco, and so for Brent's birthday he took an introductory class. He really enjoyed it! And he realized how hard some of the obstacles/courses really are. ;-)

He was excited about another expansion to SmashUp. He is turning into quite a gamer! He also recived MineCraft to play on the computer, a book, and money, and lots of nice cards. 

Swimming in October

It's been enjoyable to still have a few 80+ degree days when we can go for a quick swim.

Amber Camp - II

In this part of Texas they don't swim in the lakes (re: snakes), and so the camp had this fun pool instead.

Below was an "orienteering" activity. 

The whole school group (most of the 4th and 5th grade classes). 

Amber Camp - I

The 4th and 5th grade classes at school went to a two day nature camp. Amber had a good time getting to know her 5th grade girlfriends better, and she had a blast being out in nature again. 

The rain held off the first day so Amber was able to do her favorite activity. ;-)

Below, they are petting sting rays. 

Fall Homeschool Days

The weather has started to cool off here a tad. It's nice to get some fresh, cooler air into the apartment.
