Snow? Let it!

Today was a snow day! All about J’s snow day: At first, it started snowing. Next thing, after that we went out back and out front and we did a snowball fight. I would say four snow ball fights but I don’t remember if it was more. After that we went on a scooter ride. [...]

Mary Moore Searight Park

Last Sunday, we had to bid goodbye to hubby for a week. He’s still gone, not coming home until tomorrow. But since we had an afternoon open and we’d spent too much time indoors, we braved the cold (to us it was very cold) and went on a hike to a nearby park. Mary Moore [...]

Hamilton Pool

Working at a desk on worksheets can get really boring, let’s be real. A friend had mentioned they went out to Hamilton Pool for a hike and swim and said it had the actual falls falling into the pool. Wow! It had been a wimpy falls the last time we visited so I thought that [...]

Nature Explorers Go Spider Hunting

You can, if you want, skip straight to the photos. Last Friday, our group headed out to Barton Creek Greenbelt, starting the trail at the Zilker Park access point. We were on the hunt for spiders! Or that is, we were supposed to be. The kids gave a good effort towards the hunt. But, seriously? [...]

Last Weekend’s Antics

It was busy, that’s all I can say. On Friday, we had our morning hike with Nature Explorers. Funny, though, we were supposed to be hiking Barton Creek Greenbelt trails but it turned out they were all closed that day, probably due to recent rains. So we opted to head to the Zilker Park Nature [...]

Our Weekend

Well, let’s see. Our Friday hike was rained out. But that made it easier for mom to get a shower (yay!) and get to the airport to pick up hubby on time. Well, not so much on time but early. I didn’t keep count of how many times we drove around but NM said it [...]

To Infinity and Beyond

Or maybe just Houston. Make that Clear Lake, Texas if you want to get technical. Yes, indeed, we high-tailed it down there for Johnson Space Center’s homeschool education day. We rode with friends down there and that was a huge blessing when you consider the 4-hour drive. And that was with hardly any traffic! Our [...]

3-2-1…

Guess where we went today? Much too tired right now. I’ll work on pics and a story soon. I just like this photo because of the cloud on the top right.

Rocks, Gems and Minerals, Oh My!

We were invited by our neighbors to check out this show since it was going to be over by the end of Sunday. We managed to convince the boys they out to check it out and I think they had fun. There were lots of pretty semi-precious stones but, if you were to look at [...]

SeaWorld of San Antonio

We found out about SeaWorld’s homeschool day a couple days before. I didn’t know we’d get to go until the day before. Rush, rush, rush! When I found out we were going, after church we had to hit Walmart for ponchos but they had none. We ended up with umbrellas which pleased the boys to [...]
