Camping

Ben was going to be gone for the Father and Sons Campout so he took Westley camping the week before.  Jenna went too.  Here are a few pictures from a hike they did.IMG_0004 IMG_0007

Co-op

We really enjoy going to our homeschool co-op each week.  It is so great for my kids to learn new things from the other moms in our group.  Somehow I only ended up taking only one picture from this year.  Luckily, some friends took some too. 

Here are all the kids making funny faces on the last day.HS Co op funny kids Westley dressed in a beekeeping suit the day they learned about bees.IMG_20140401_131915_779 Westley working on a worksheet.Early spring 2014 011

Easter

We had a good Easter this year.  I did not do all the Christ Week Easter activities I did last year but we still had a good week.  We have just been so busy lately that I was too tired to do more.  We are lucky we even have these pictures.  Besides our own egg hunt we had a huge one with the other homeschool families in our area.Spring 2014 001 Spring 2014 002 Spring 2014 004 Spring 2014 005 Spring 2014 007

Triathlon

Both Jenna and Westley participated in a triathlon recently.  They had to swim 50 yards, bike 1 mile, and run 1/2 a mile.  Westley was slightly slower than last time.  He had not been practicing his swimming.

Jenna did awesome!  She swam great and was biking pretty well when she had a bad crash near the end of the bike.  She was told she did not have to finish and that we could go have the EMTs look at her cuts.  But she wanted to finish.  She got up and walked the run and finished the race.  We were so proud of her. She was so tough; I don’t know if I would have done that.Early spring 2014 013 Early spring 2014 014 Early spring 2014 015 Early spring 2014 016 Early spring 2014 017
