I can't believe it's been so long since I have blogged!
It truly is therapeutic for me & I love it.
September has been a fun busy month for our family.
Our first field trip of the month started with an outing to Memorial Park...
The kids loved touring the zoo area and seeing all of the animals. They especially love the bears!
We walked around the pond and fed ducks, packed a picnic lunch, & played on the play ground. The home school co-op that I started back in August has been a blessing to our family. This was our second co-op outing and it is so nice to get to know other families and share ideas!
Our next field trip entailed a trip to Cleveland to visit Jaemor Farms and learned about apples & bees...
This was a great fun outing with our home school co-op as well. Jaemor is a beautiful farm where they grow just about everything that you can think of. The kids loved riding on the tractor hayride and touring the farm, learning where apples come from, seeing a live bee hive, going through a corn maze, visiting the market, sampling apple cider & apple chips, and my kids love the boiled peanuts! We will definitely have to plan a trip back!
On to our third field trip to Stone Mountain! This was actually an event hosted by GA K12 which is the
program we use for homeschooling! We were excited that Nana T (my mom) took the day off to go with us! She read the kids facts about Stone Mountain on our way up & quizzed them! They actually retained a good bit of information! The event was large in attendance and we were able to meet several of our on-line teachers. It is nice to be able to put a face with a name. The kids enjoyed activities that they had planned such as crafts, hula hooping, bean bag math toss game, etc. After our meet and great we took the kids over to the mountain to walk around. It was a GORGEOUS day! We found the old bridge that had been moved from Athens/Clarke county. We took the kids over it to a lake area and had a great picnic that Nana had put together for us! The kids really enjoyed the day and couldn't resit getting their feet a little wet before we left!
We also took the kids to see The Cole Brothers Circus while it was in town.
They always enjoy our yearly trip to see the elephants, tigers, motorcycle stuntmen, & trapeze artiest!
Our afternoon was full of cousins, face paintings, popcorn, cotton candy, funnel cakes, and lots of fun!
Home school is in full swing and we are getting back into our daily routine. It has been an adjustment schooling two instead of one. Levi is loving Kindergarten and ask for more work when we are finished everyday and Madilyn is adjusting to the Third Grade work load! She is always talking about how much more work she has to do! She has also started back with her piano lessons and it is amazing to see how far she has come. Her teacher messaged me this week and said, "Madilyn is more confident and tries everything without hesitation!" We are so proud of her willingness to learn!
We were excited to welcome in the first day of FALL yesterday! As you can tell by the title of my post it is by far - hands down - my favorite season. I love cooler temperatures, pumpkins, leaves falling, spice lattes, autumn candles, nightly fires in the fire pit, roasting marshmallows, sweaters, & boots!
We are looking forward to a quiet rest of the month & enjoying God's beautiful creation!
