Vacation Highlight #4: Victorian Tea

 My Aunt Donna knows how much my girls love dressing up. She invited them for a Victorian Tea Party at the historical society where she volunteers. Audra was over the moon to see my cousins' girls had homemade fancy dresses too.  The tea party was splendid.  The girls let Audra be the teacher in the school area. I think Audra will remember this day forever, thank you Aunt Donna!

Vacation Highlights #3: Kayaking

 

Back in School/Not in School 2020-2021

This isn't the beginning of our school year (we homeschool year round and view homeschooling as our lifestyle), but the kids notice when the school bus first goes by. They promptly run out to the field and I follow with the camera.  They are back to school, not in school, homeschooling at home sweet home again this year.  We all feel blessed to have this lifestyle for another year.

Pre-K

They started their day with gifts.

New fancy journals. 

Had time to run around.

We read a lot of books, did some drawing, did what we call 'brain work'. 

We played, we all worked on a sewing project and then when daddy got home, we hiked a local trail.  

I can honestly say our ordinary day is my favorite sort of day.

"Out back"

Know what else we have been up to since we have returned to Maine? We were eager to get back to our backyard and the nature that awaits us.

The apple tree from the field I tried to prune a couple years ago is bursting with apples this year. They are really good apples!  Now that the hay is gone, our daily backyard walks will return, lots of nature awaits.
