Wisdom Picnic

We went to the Wisdom Picnic ... pretty good turn out.
I was surprised that I didn't know more people there. It was interesting to see that so many out of towners came and so many of the people I knew lived in Edmonton, didn't. So we saw alot of new faces. Still don't know my facilitator ... that's okay... we're not one of the new-to-home schooling families so ... we're just carrying on, they'll find us.
It was very nice weather, a really good day for the event. The kids try catching "fish" and snails in the pond. We saw one HUGH beaver and something smaller... not sure what. The leaves are so beautiful right now... truly fall-like.

You'd never guess...

My Dad and I go for walks in the mornings when he's here. I've found wallets, purses, money, pop cans, all sorts of odds and ends. But never anything as big as I found today on our walk. There in the lake behind our house covered in muck and reeds ... was this bike.
I've never had to wade into the lake to retrieve my finds before either. You just never know what you'll find when you keep your eyes open. We're still having a discussion about what to do with it.

Snyder Grandparents visit

Yvonne's mom and dad .. visiting us for a week and enjoying the grandkids. We took time the other day to go for a nice walk down in the Ravine area. What a nice way to spend the afternoon.
There's a place where bird, squirrels and chipmunks come to feed. So we brought our seeds and enjoyed watching them.
Exercise, fresh air... what more can a mom ask for? We need to do nature walks more often before it gets any colder.

John Walter Museum

I'm a little behind but I forgot Ihad these photos.

My team ... the beauties of the out and about group.
We all managed to fit in the small house and look how well behaved everyone was. I am always impressed with the learning that goes on when homeschoolers get together. Way to go, guys.
My responsiblity was teaching the kids to make butter. It was fun.. whole lot of shaking goin' on!
They also made ice cream, carded wool, did pioneer chores, dipped candles and toured the various buildings. It was a really nice time, inspite of the cold. I think everyone had fun.

Food Issues

I'm having to face some food issues. I have been trying juicing... wow.. that's just not enough for me. What can I say ...? I have evaluating to do ... juice is not going to be my great break through, I'm guessing.
