Warning to all school aged children....... Time is running out.
One more day of freedom until it happens...... We will soon be
smothered with all sorts of nonsense, filled to the uttermost with
undesirable knowledge, crushing our spirits with undue pressure.
So take heed. Any last enjoyable activities will soon be banished.
Take this oportunity and use it! Time is running out!

Our Wonderful Parents.....

Water war: A father vs. daughter fight to the finish...

The war was on! Emily with her super-soaker and Dad with his teensy water gun and ink syringe (that also doubled as a water sprayer). Believe me, it was a sight to see! Looking at the last photo you should be able to guess who won....or rather, who lost.

WORK DAY AT RICHLAND CAMP


Our Family spent several days this week helping the Lambeth family get ready for Richland Campmeeting........ That included tearing downa chimney, raking leaves, and cleaning cabins etc. We enjoyed being part of the demolition crew for the chimney removal, especially when we got to use the sledge hammer! After the chimneywas taken out, I slid down the 1st floor hole to the basement. It was a longer drop that I had thought, but it was still worth the excitement! (The photo was taken looking down into the basement where we were working to clear the away the debris.)

Our Cousin's wedding....

Last weeekend our cousin, Crystal Trayer, was wedded to Nathan Hodge. They had a beautiful wedding and reception that we all enjoyed. Evangeline and I (Elizabeth) were asked to play the piano for the ceremony - a 45min. prelude, Bridal Chorus & Wedding march, Trumpet Voluntary, and then some more while pictures were being taken. Whew - what a lot of music to learn! Thankfully, we were able to practice the music ahead of time except the Trumpet Voluntary, which was given to me the night before the wedding! I had to sight-read it for the rehersal, (which I'm not very good at) but thankfully it wasn't hard so I made it through all right.

We had a blast with our Kline cousins! Since they live in Florida, we don't get to see them much, so it was a treat to spend the weekend with them! (They came up for the wedding...) We had a great time and made some wonderful memories!

The DeLadurantey Visit

We had a wonderful time having the DeLadurantey family stay with us during the homeschool convention. (They manned the Vision Forum booth.) We had great
conversations and late night talks! Come back again Del's, and bring the whole gang!

The Homeschool Float - Memorial Day Parade

The homeschoolers participated
in Fulton's Memorial Day parade this year.
We had a float, band and chorus, and some
of the kids dressed up in uniforms representing
all the wars.
