Spring Break

Well it's about time we caught up on things around here. I posted a bunch o pics since last August, and will add some words later when it's not bedtime. Until then, here is the fun Ryan and the kids had biking through Yellowstone during Spring Break when the roads were still closed to traffic. Rented some tandem bikes and had fun! They pedaled 51 miles that day. A different way to see Yellowstone! To see all the pics of their adventure, just click on the one of Ryan and Lindsey.

Greeks and Romans

This year we have been having fun diving into the lives of Greeks and Romans. This is our Greek party. The kids put on a play they made up. I think Kami is Persephone, but I can't remember who every body else is. However, they were very funny and creative and really got into it. They enjoyed some Greek yogurt, hummus, grapes, olives, grape juice, and other such foods- but mostly enjoyed laying on the couches to eat it!

Salt dough maps! Porter really liked learning about volcanoes and the lost city of Pompeii. He did a cool report at our co-op school on volcanos. He made one out of salt clay, and painted it all nice. Then he put a lego city at the base. He had the other kids predict what would have the biggest reaction--- baking soda and vinegar, diet coke and mentos, or sprite and salt. Try it and find out for yourself!!

Can you guess what country that is? Hint: It is supposed to look like a boot!

Christmas 2011 and Ridge's 2nd Bday

Big #2

Lindsey let Ridge help make his cake, and it certainly turned out nice and droopy. Perfect for Eeyore!

July 2011 Backpacking Granite Basin

What a fun trip to Granite Basin in the beautiful Tetons! The wildflowers were absolutely gorgeous! The goats made our burdens light. We drank fresh spring water and covered lots of ground. Nothing better.
