No formal work this week. We had our annual Girl Scout trip to the beach house Tuesday-Thursday and the weather was too nice on Monday to stay in.

We checked in on one of our old favorites, Sheldon Lake State Park.

The tower was windy as usual.

See the kids under the bench?

Mirek figured out how to block the wind.

Nature journaling at the bottom.

The Girl Scouts decorated some white shoes with unicorn spit (not snot).

Mixing drinks is always a favorite of the kids. One of the Girl Scouts is making me a "Berry Alcohol."

Lela's boyfriend.

Back on Friday. Naia saw this over my shoulder while I was perusing Pinterest and asked to make it.

It's almost baseball season so we decided to go play at some nearby fields.

Taven was obsessed with baseball just a few months ago and made a select team that starts practicing in one week. However, he is currently obsessed with basketball (whatever the pros are playing at the time pretty much) so we need to get his mind back to the diamond. Pretty easy with this one. A natural.

The girls read their first 500 pages for our reading challenge and both wanted a treat at Barnes and Noble. Just us ladies! Side note: I cannot believe the amount of money people spend on books when the library is free! I understand buying reference books but picture and chapter books? I wish people would just give me that money they are spending and I will show them how the library works.

We went by Goodwill on the way home because we need some bowls (the kids break all of them). While I was looking around I hear giggling and "mom! Come see!"

It was a rainy day and I was glad to get back home to my bed. Fun little outing though.

That's it! Our week in review. I plan on a full four days of lessons this next week. We shall see if that happens. I don't know. The forecast is looking mighty fine.
