The Last Hurrah

Today is the last day of summer vacation for lots of kids in our area. School starts back tomorrow and the days have gotten so much shorter lately. After I became a stay at home mom I really started to enjoy the change of seasons with fall being my new favorite.

We decided to take Callie to the zoo today in celebration of school starting tomorrow. The parking lot had lots of empty spots and the animals were all out where we could see them. Since school is about to start there were also no school or daycare groups there, so even the picnic tables were empty. We had a great time and we're going to miss being able to spend mornings with Callie.

Our next "field trip" will be in a couple of weeks. We'll be going to an apple orchard with our homeschool group. We also have enrollment for elective classes where Maggie will be taking sign language. Then there's a field trip with the homeschool families from church.

We are so busy, but we are having so much fun. Living and learning together really is going great.
