Homeschool Co-op

I have wanted to post about our wonderful Homeschool Co-op.

We started the school year with this great group of about 15

families.  We get together once a week to learn and play.

For the first month or so we met at willow river state park.

one of my personal favorite parks and we played, read 

stories, and hiked the trails.  For all of October and now

November we are meeting at Camp St. Croix.

It is a beautiful YMCA camp on the St Croix river.

With them we have experienced some really fun opportunities.

The kids have gotten to play games

explore trails and ponds.

Matthew has gotten to climb walls and throw hatchets.

On this day I took pictures of the grounds and our 

Stone soup day.  It is so great to be a part of this larger

homeschooling community.

Till is chopping kale for our soup

We cooked over the fire and listened to a stone soup story.

 The kids ran around playing games.

This is my kind of recess.

Everything is so relaxed and the kids have so much fun.

The really big news is my baby girl broke her leg!!!!!

Everything has sort of been on hold for the time being.

Now we have resorted to watching TV!

and eating whipped cream most days

Recovery doesn't seem like it will take too

long she has a "nice" break.  She has been a real

trooper.  My house of 3 boys and 1 girl and only

she has had the stitches and now a broken leg!

I will keep posting on her progress.

until next time...
