Summer School

School doesn't end when the calendar changes.  Not in our family. 

Recently Bear shared a couple things we worked on this year with our homeschool group.  We have a small celebration of our years accomplishments.  We had fun gathering found nature objects (more on that later), wagon rides, motorcycle adventures for Bear and Hubs, and Bear lost her first tooth (6/23).  We have had a very adventurous couple of weeks!  How about your family?  Do you have any fun plans?

Summer Bucket List Update

Even though summer has just begun, already we have completed a few things on our bucket list!  (and YES I know the official solstice isn't until June 21st -- or 20th depending).   

A few summer folklores I have found, just because its fun.....

Deep snow in winter, tall grain in summer.–Estonian proverb
When the summer birds take their flight, goes the summer with them.
If it rains on Midsummer's Eve, the filbert crops will be spoiled.–Unknown
One swallow never made a summer.
Easterly winds from May 19 to the 21 indicate a dry summer.
If there are many falling stars during a clear summer evening, expect thunder. If there are none, expect fine weather.

So here is our list so far:

1. Shakespeare in the park  Information here and here --Scheduled!
2. Camping (one is already scheduled with other homeschool friends!) and two more are roughly scheduled!
3. Archery with friends
