It was almost two weeks ago now, but I can’t skip the chance to share photos from our week of fun.  It was just one of those things that lead to having a week FULL of activities.  It was the 10th week of this school year and as good a time as any to squeeze in fun (much of which counted as school)!

Tuesday the girls had a field trip to a stable in Springwater to work toward their Horsemanship badge for American Heritage Girls.  While the miniature horses were fascinating, it was the barn cats that got the boys’ attention.  Hanny was tickled by the goats.

Wednesday was our regular morning at CBS.  See Hanny in her class?  She is singing and gently caring for her baby doll.

Then we went with our friends to Pizza Hut to celebrate two of their birthdays,

complete with cupcakes.

Thursday found the oldest three heading to Dayton’s Corners Schoolhouse in Penfield.  This is a late 1800-early 1900 school house that I got to visit for a field trip “back in the day.”  (No – not the early 1900s!)  They had to dress in period clothing and back an authentic lunch.  We put milk in mason jars,

wrapped our muffins in dish towels,

packed rolls, cheese chunks, and hard-boiled eggs.  (The latter was Marie’s idea.  She is so clever!)

Grapes also went in a jar.

We did cheat and put a bag of ice in the bottom of the bucket.  It was 70 degrees that day!

The little girls and I went to the Strong Museum.  It had been 365 days since we had been there last and the girls had SO much fun.  Johanna ricocheted from activity to activity.  Tabitha could have used about 2 more hours there.

Thursday I also squeezed in my ultra sound.  Heh.  It wasn’t all a barrel-o’-laughs.

Friday was Nan’s birthday.  Aunt Betty came down from Canada and we enjoyed the weather with an afternoon trip to the zoo.

Later in the day we had KFC and cake at our house.

Saturday evening Ba and Poppy came for dinner to celebrate THEIR birthdays…

It was a BUSY, FUN, week. 

And I remembered to take photos along the way!
