Tadpoles

Our tadpoles are getting bigger (check out the previous post to see the difference)....they now have small legs.

More of Cal's Pics

Cal is spending some of his summer break taking photographs. Here is a sampling of his flower pictures.

Camping Trip

This was our first camping trip of the year during Father's day weekend. The kids had a great time even though our weekend was cut short. The kids helped put up the tent. Soon Mom and Dad won't have to do anything. Even Lily helped with the dishes!!

School's over

We've finished another school year. We learned quite a bit this year and a ready for a little break. James learned how to read this year and is reading many things! He can count all the way to 100 too! Cal did a lot of work this year too! He made a volcano, built a tree swallow box, created his own "restaurant" complete with a menu, took the California Achievement Test (and scored 97%), made a book about Pilgrims, wrote many stories, started reading chapter books, began learning his multiplication tables, did interviews, and starred in a maple sugaring video (thank you Netnie!), just to name a few.
Cal will be starting third grade in September, James will be starting first grade, and Leah will be starting kindergarten. Lily, of course, will just continue being cute and dumping out the crayons.

Enjoying the stream

It's summertime and the kids are enjoying more time in the stream. Cal, James, and Leah love being in it. It's a little too cold for Lily yet.

Cal and Lil!
