rock collecting!


Our adventures over the summer 2009!

It is going to be hard to leave these rock collections behind. I will let the kids pick out a couple and have to let the others go away. I can't believe that I am attached to these things.

It started out in the summer when Dave would work late and I would take the kids on adventures through the neighborhood. They would collect rocks and pine cones of every shape. They carried them all the way home too. we discovered a way to keep them by making a rock pile. Boy it added up!
Next place we move I hope to do the same tradition!


Maggie loves to paint! I have so many pictures from her with school I am running out of room in my house to keep them all! She has figured out the world of the computer drawing!

Trip to the solar system

On Saturday we took a ride in a homemade spaceship to the solar system. First picture is Josh map of what planets they wanted to visit, 2nd picture is the planets that they created! Their cockpit was the couch and they buckled up and bounced as the spaceship went into space. Yes, Dave and I participated. We also had special goggles to see the sun. Their Halloween costumes were the astronaut's outfit! What creative kids I have!
