End of Summer

So it is that time a year again! When the kids are asking when school starts and not wanting summer to end! We have not done much this year because of my husband traveling a lot and me working more hours. We have been taking outings with our friends the Marshall's and Stark's.

 We had the opportunity to visit the Cocoa Dolce Artisan Chocolate factory for a home school field trip. We even got free chocolate, met the owner, got to see how they used the different machines for the many chocolates.  Then went to their store a few blocks way and see much more of the company. All the kids enjoyed it very much and were very good, considering there were 7 of them.

On another day that week we went to the zoo for a home school field trip. The kids had fun running to see all the animals and hearing cool facts about them. We even got to see the trainers working with the elephants and do tricks for us.

Other than that we have been just playing with friends, going swimming, checking out library books and getting very muddy! The other reason we haven't done much this year is how hot it has been. You go out and five mins later you are back in the house sweating and melting.

We have had a good summer, hope this school year goes well!




Imagine what he look like before he changed!!!
