At Home Lately



Celene's picture of a stunning sky over our gardens

one of kids' shot of a pretty bug

Miles' drawing of a goldfinch

Celene led an art class for her younger siblings...nature art made from things found outside!

an interesting experiment...she's poking a skewer stick through a balloon...

and it didn't pop the balloon!

Manitowoc Zoo



These are mostly Celene's pictures, with a few of my own.
We visited the Manitowoc zoo with our dear friends yesterday.
It's such a sweet little zoo, just the right kind to enjoy for a half a sunny spring day.

Theo's wingspan matches a sea gull's ;)

Celene doesn't get close to the bald eagle's, although Theo gets close to a red tail hawk's

playing with letter blocks

Theo got this close to a pair of doves before they flew off



more wingspan testing...sand hill cranes and vultures

Homeschool Year End Celebration at Camp Y Koda!


Last week, the kids and I got to join on a full day of fun and activity celebrating the end of the homeschool year of 2018-2019!
Camp Y Koda opened up for several hundred families (it was stunning to see how many people  homeschool in Sheboygan County), and offered their pond for canoeing and kayaking, rock climbing wall, archery, and playground and picnic area.
