One Thousand Four Hundred Thirty Four

That's the number of this post.  Wow!  That's a lot of posts about very few things that are truly important.

Nearly every Friday, our homeschool group has something planned.  Some things are planned locally and may be as simple as a playdate (bring your own picnic) in a local park.  Some are more involved and require traveling and/or spending money on admissions to a zoo or science discovery center or historic location.

Last Friday, September 30th, we met at a local park that has a few rides for the kids.  We got a special rate of $3 for all the rides the kids wanted on a carousel, a train around the park, and a mini-teeny-tiny roller coaster.  Luci was excited about the carousel, asked a hundred questions about the train, and was adamant about staying off the roller coaster.

JT was my baby-sitter (I didn't really want to ride).  He was a good sport and was the best big brother that day! 

Here are some shots of the fun:

Friday at the Park

Renee from DaySpring Academy set up a park day for this morning. It was nice to meet someone else from DaySpring--she's the first mom from there that I've met! She and her kids left for home before I got any photos of her children--two very nice kids about the same age as Bryan and JT.

I did manage to snap my own family. John was in town, so we were lucky and had lunch with him.

All three Musketeers.

I love this one, I'm not sure why.
Can you guess? This is JT's gorgeous hair.
A beetle. If you know the type of beetle this is, please let me know. The closest thing I could find is one from Madagascar...I kind of figure it didn't migrate that far.
