We were learning about the respiratory system and then abstract art at our elementary age co-op.
In Amber's middle school co-op she is learning to draw the whole world this year, every country and capital. So far she has mastered freehand drawing: Canada, USA, Mexico and Central America, and the Caribbean islands. Also, she is learning Latin and doing some beginner translation work.
All three of these kids keep me on my toes! :)
The kids kicked-off Lucas' birthday with breakfast in bed. Amber made eggs and sausage. Brent helped me pick out and wrap some new board games for Lucas. Clara painted a rock and made a card for Dad. We also enjoyed a keto pumpkin pie later in the day.
A couple days later, Lucas and Brent went on a 12 mile "Tour de Frisco" ride.
And Lucas rounded out the week with his annual scuba dive (in a TX lake). He met up with a bunch of divers at a dive shop event. The lake's visibility was not great that day, but the water temperature was perfect. He was able to do 3 dives, and...come home with free gear (baseball cap and diving shirt).
Happy 37, Hon!
In August we took a day trip to Paris, TX.
On the way out of Frisco, we saw several hot air balloons along the highway. It was a still, hot, humid day...maybe that's idea for ballooning?
The little Eifel tower was so cute, especially with the cowboy hat on top.
There was a veterans memorial next to the tower. Unfortunately, because it was 104 degrees, we couldn't stay long...just long enough for pictures and a quick walk-around.
We also enjoyed a refreshing swim at nearby Cooper Lake state park.
