Summer learning adventures

I didn't get a chance all summer to update this so I am going to do it now! We just had so much fun and so much learning all in one summer! We enjoyed the Insect-O-Rama at the Springfield Nature Center and we learned lots about those six legged creatures! 

 We had a blast at the Creation Xpo Science Camp. The focus this year was on great scientists and great artists. We learned a great deal about Isaac Newton which was a great pre-learning to our classical work this year. 

 We also had so much fun with church camp. It was wild west themed! The kids learned the word of God while doing lots of athletic games and swimming. 

 Lily was one of the muddiest girls there after all the mud game competitions!

We also went to vacation bible school to learn about creation and dinosaurs. It was a great time of learning!

The kids loved doing tennis lessons this summer! They all definitely improved. I really enjoyed taking Lily out one on one to practice. 

Another fun activity was in May when we did the Springfield Little Theaters School's Out workshop. They kids performed a dance routine and did fun skits. They also decorated shirts.

One of our all time favorite summer activities is to do golf lessons. We are blessed with a great golf instructor and a golf course that is made just for children! Lily improved with each lesson. Last year, Lily had received golf clubs and this year we were lent golf clubs for Eli and Valerie to use as well!

Last, but certainly not least, we enjoyed the library reading program. The kids read all summer long which improved their reading so much. It is fun to watch children grow in their love of reading!
