Building a Fort

A broken-down backyard fence, leftover bricks, and a tarp... They created this with Dad and are really enjoying it in the fall weather now. 

Changing Vehicles - a New Season

The minivan has been an excellent family vehicle for us for over a decade. But time to upgrade. Thankful for a Honda Pilot. Hopefully this serves us well for many years too. 

Vacay to South Texas

This fall we took a trip south to the Texas coastline. Along the drive down, we stopped in central TX to hike "Enchanted Rock." It was less than a mile hike, but it was mostly straight up (in 95 degree weather). 

Corpus Christi area was our final destination. We really enjoyed the beaches there. We rented a condo that was 3 blocks from a beach. The kids learned how to boogie board and really loved it! We awoke early one morning to watch the sunrise too.

 One day we went downtown Corpus and toured the old aircraft carrier from WWII the Lexington. 

It was hard to say goodbye to the beach and all the fun and the beautiful nature.
Maybe we will go back another year to vacay.

Continuing to Learn Together

A 6th grader, 4th grader, and 2nd grader....
It's a wonderful season of learning both at home and at our homeschool co-op.
