August -- sailing

On 8/23/09 we were invited to go sailing on the Chesapeake Bay!! We had a great day on the Bay:)

August -- more fun

Hmmm... in 2 years I will check and see if they can still fit into this spot:)

August -- fun

A little summer fun:)

August -- History

Our Fridays this summer have been filled with history and history projects. Here the kids are making their own version of an Indian Rangoli design. They all worked very diligently to grind up chalk and mix the powder with water to make the great design.

Level 1 -- PASSED!!!

Benny had his last day of swim lessons today -- he passed Level 1!!!! Great job, Benny:)

Groundhog

Well, we trapped a groundhog! Last week I saw him peaking his head from underneath our shed (and signs that he's been eating the tops of my bean plants). We borrowed a trap from our neighbors and ta-da -- we caught him!

Groundhog release

We released the groundhog at Autumnwood pool (we're hoping that he will not find our garden again)!
