Summer Fun!

Summer has finally come to central PA! We have been enjoying a break from school and routine. I generally keep us going with some school work over the summer, but not yet this year! The break has been very good for us. 

Last week I attended a seminar for the homeschool group we are part of and was so refreshed! It was helpful to have some perspective of being with others who are also homeschooling their kids and a reminder of the main goal. The mission of our group (Classical Conversations) has become the mission of our home school  - To know God and to make Him known. All that we do in and out of school is anchored in this truth. I needed to remember that because so much tries to take over as most important. Even when we learn math or English grammar or science we are doing that within that mission. As we learn about the planets or about skip counting or how to read and write well, we are seeing more of who God is and we are being prepared to make Him known to each other and all who we are around. Thankful to be reanchored. 

Aside from that we are having fun, some of the time, and learning more about how to love each other the rest of the time!!

Here are pics of the fun, trust me you don't want to see pics of the learning times!!
