We went to a pumpkin patch with our friends. We were glad they were open for this fall activity.
Amber and I attended a multi-church outdoor meeting to pray for our city, schools, families, and country. Some of her youth group friends were there too.
Above: Brent and Clara's class practiced drawing the White House.
Below: Amber's class is playing Scrabble on the board...in Latin! And then a bunch of them enjoyed some ice cream (supposedly "custard," though this Wisconsinite would disagree) after class one beautiful afternoon.
We occasionally walk around the subdivision and pick up trash. Here Amber was pulling trash (mostly plastic bottles) out of the turtles' pond.
The kids wrote their own script version of Pilgrim's Progress. It was delightful to watch.
Amber joined the Middle School volleyball team for the private school they attended two years ago. She is still friends with several of the girls from the school and they are on the team too. Amber is loving this, her first official team sport. She is training to be the setter.
Brent and Clara have been taking a track camp. We found out their coach was on the 2016 400meter relay Olympic team (for Haiti). They do lots of conditioning and sprinting, and once in a while they race each other.
