Last week (and a half) of school!

This was the very last week of our kindergarten year! 
I had no interest in tackling any new subjects so, we had a fluffy week.
Trying to transition from a pretty structured day into more of a relaxed summertime mentality.

Plenty of outside time...

We finished planting our garden 
with the help of Aunt Burp and our chickens.


Then, the boys found this lovely snapping turtle.


He was huge.


The next day we went exploring around our own town.



we went down to the river and played at our parks.




We crossed the lift bridge into Wisconsin for our big end of the year field trip.

We went on a huge hike exploring Willow river state park.  
This is one of our absolute favorites.  It is really close to the metro if anyone 
would want to check it out.






To celebrate miss Tillie's birthday we really took off on Friday and went to the pool!

Happy Birthday baby girl!




We continued to observe our butterflies.  
It was a big subject for us and we stuck with it for the rest of the week.

They changed into chrysalis

Daddy put them into our butterfly holder 
and we awaited further transformation...




And then it happened!

They became butterflies.
We feed them oranges and watched them for awhile before release.







We finished everything off with another huge hike to our other favorite park.



Interstate park in Taylors Falls.


They love being rock climbers.




We had a lot of fun exploring and enjoying our laid back days.
I will do a reflective post next week to recap our year.  As for now
thank you to everyone for following us through our days of
me attempting to homeschool these little rascals!


Thank you!

Until then
