We checked out a new campground this weekend……Lake Huron Campground. We were impressed. It was awesome. There were tons of activities and fun things to do. We went with the Hortons.

Summary of our Week
We had a fun, laid back week this week. We studied the five senses in school. I tried to include some fun sensory activities for the kids after they were done with their workbooks. My kids have always loved to do fun activities like sensory boxes. I love when it’s warm enough for them to…

Taco Bell Experience
Today is an example of Brandon’s spontaneousness. I decided to drive the kids to the shop today after rest time to get out of the house. We got carried away, as we always do. We stayed too long. It got to be 5:00 and I told Brandon I was about to go home and start…

Joah’s Birthday
Brandon, like the tornado he can be sometimes, calls me the day before Joah’s birthday on August 1st. He says “I dont have much time. My training is about to start. There is a Medieval Times show tonight an hour from the camp. Look into getting tickets. Good bye. Click.” Hmmmm. Well there was that.…
