Our Fourth Year at Winter Family Camp. Small, intimate and usually cold. We’re already booked for 2009.
Homeschool Conference Workshop on 10 Ten Things to Do Before Age 10. MrPages came and worked the information table. People love how encouraging he is!
Our Second Purim. Over the years we have often celebrated Unusual Holidays. Purim is a Jewish time to dress up, have fun and eat good food!
A Trip to Narcisse to visit the snakes!
Living History Welcomes the David Thompson Brigade
Our first visit to the local Exhibition and Fair.
A month at my Great Aunt’s Cottage. It rained most of the time and the puddles and mosquitoes were pretty bad, but we had a lovely time. We tried to help weed the gardens. I got to use my other Great Aunt’s 1925 sewing machine, which is still in working condition. It was such a thrill thinking of all the things she must have made on it. We also got a few days in at the beach. My two great Aunts are incredible people whom I admire and desire to be like. They have given of themselves freely to make the world a better place. And they made our summer absolutely wonderful!
Living History Settler’s Weekend. We get to dress up and try to imagine what it must have been like here two hundred years ago. We always have a roasted buffalo and period appropriate potluck. The fencing association comes out for a display and lessons, but mostly we just spend time learning from one another and enjoying each others company.
Two Trips to the Penner Farm, friends who moved so very far away. We went out for a day in the fall, and a weekend just before Christmas. Both times were mini-vacations – relaxing and encouraging. We look forward to future visits.
Join us next time for The Year in Review – Work and School
