String art - drawing out our plans

This guy is an engineer!

And Simeon's concentration is amazing ;0)

The oak was pretty but HARD...but next time we will use pine!

Sword fighting, always sword fighting

Glad we have the 'sticks only hit sticks' rule!

Weeks 4 & 5

Hide & Seek

Picnic weather

Priscilla can fly!

Mac has huge muscles!

Weaving God's eyes

Ella's lovely creation!

Ben & Ezra make a great team of inventors

Emma lost her head

Beautiful seeds that look like a pinecone, but are as soft as silk

Happy Birthday Allana!!

Nice mustache Ezra!

Malachi - the great imitator!

Even big girls love to dress up....

The older ones loved playing The Farmer in the Dell with the younger ones :0)

Week 3

Don't mess with Kai-kai - he's armed with hot glue!

We had a sparse grape harvest this summer - but enough to make grape juice with our feet! I think Emma liked it ;0)

Kai-Kai

Sofe

Ben

Allana

Zach & Ben were in charge of straining the skins from the juice

Seth, Asher, & Malachi enjoying the castle made by Papa J

Sofe getting a turn in the Tinker Lab

Enough juice for everyone to have a big gulp!

Week 2 - Sept. 8, 2017

We rolled beeswax candles today! Asher, Malachi & Ellie were mezmerized :0)

I guess it's Ben's turn to get dressed up! Emma drew names out of a hat to decide who would play each part in their Rapunzel play....

Asher is getting strong!

This is Flyn something or other climbing a tower with his minions...wait....they have another name I'm sure but I haven't seen the new movie!!

Emma is Mother Hubbard(?!) & Allana might be the Queen? I'm glad they gave me the narrator part - I think I get to make up the storyline as we go!!

Rapunzel let down your hair!
