Our Special Summer! June

We started off the summer with a vacation to Colorado and then settled back in to normal life without school.  The kids played played played, went from Star Wars fanatics to WWII learners (Zane only-Rachel participates, but she can only take so much of WWII documentaries.) and we just had fun.

Reading!  Both wanted a nest.  I don't make them as good as Daddy!  :)

Math time!

Our biggest cantaloupe.  It was delicious!

One of my goals I tried to do was encourage the kids to cook with me.  Rachel was more interested than Zane, but we did make drop biscuits-one of his very favorites.

Our Pride of Barbados plant finally started blooming!!!!  I was so surprised!

This girl almost always says yes to baking and cooking.

Doctoring Daddy!!!  One time he had to have casts on both arms!  Whew!
