Wedding Fun

We attended the wedding of the daughter of our friends.  The wedding took place at sunset at the Empire Mine in Grass Valley.  It was a beautiful evening, an incredible ceremony, and super fun reception.  The boys had a great time dancing the night away with their friends.

Our local Williams-Sonoma offers free cooking classes for the kids Saturday mornings. This is the first class the kids took.  The theme was ‘Apples’.

We learned that…

There are 2500 varieties of apples in the U.S., and 7000 around the world…

Lemon juice helps keep the apples from turning brown.

River Time

As everyone was headed back into the school rooms, we made our school room the river for the day.  Then, we went to explore the town of Foresthill, and looked at their historic cemetery.  A little lunch, then headed home…

Homeschool Science

The boys decided to take their microscope outside and look at petals, leaves, bark….and an ant…

IT started to sprinkle a bit; something we desperately need.  It was more of a spit than a sprinkle and stopped almost as soon as it started.  The boys did not want to end their scientific quest, and created this solution…

A Fun, Full Day

First…Apple Camp at the Apple store.  The boys learned how to make online cartoon stories.

Second…”school” clothes shopping.  They boys received a suit jacket for church and special occasions.  They love every opportunity to wear them, but it’s  still been so darn hot!!

After shopping, it was time for the dentist!  The boys both love going to the dentist.  They get to watch a movie of their choice on a tv that’s mounted above them on the ceiling, and they get to lay on a “surfboard”.  The dentist said that ‘A’ has won the dental lottery, with beautifully aligned teeth.  He does not think he will need to wear braces.  ‘R’s mouth needs to develop a little more before he can make a decision on his.

Summer Play

The boys took it upon themselves to see if they could breathe underwater with buckets over their heards.  They are taking turns pushing the buckets underwater with brother inside!

Poor ‘A’

….hurt his foot.  Ended up getting a boot and crutches.  He was thrilled.  He had always wanted to have crutches… 🙂
