November Days

This month is always filled to the brim for us with birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays, and so often I miss photos of those extraordinary moments. BUT...we have been on quite a few field trips lately, and I am happy to share those!

When I told family members we were taking a field trip to the grocery store, they thought I meant we were getting groceries. No! Festival Foods gave our group a thorough tour of their facility, and even gave the kids snacks a long the way!

Gampy took us out to eat at 1919 and let the kids order whatever they wanted!! What a treat!

Gretta and Sam and friends from their Essentials writing class participated in a geography fair this month. They each put a name of a country of choice in a bowl, and drew out "Djibouti, Africa". The team worked so hard to create a booth including a map, flag, and treat. 

The Paper Discovery Museum offered fabulous hands on experiences. The kids learned how and why paper is weighted, the history behind the building, and how to make their own paper at home.

A glimpse of an evening away to Sister Bay in Door County...

We were all refreshed by hikes in the woods, new and old games, and rest.

Even without a selfie stick, we fit into the frame =)

This girl made a mask all on her own today...

and added a beard to resemble Abraham. Sweet pea!
