Our Summer Learning Journey!

Our learning never ends!
Learning about babies when her new cousin was born!
Braving a rock wall at Girl Scouts camp! This was an amazing opportunity that continues to make our days wonderful. We attended a Me and Mine camp for the younger kids that allows a mom or older sister to attend with their Scout. It was SO much fun for us both and we met so many new friends and had such wonderful experiences!
Us both learning archery! Now we want to keep learning now that we’re home! 😉
There’s a tiny froglet in this picture! Can you see her? This is Junie, one of my beloved spring peeper froglets. She has three other sisters: BB, Hazel and Juniper!
We went to our first amusement and water park! Holiday World in Santa Claus, Indiana. And yes, that is ACTUALLY the name of the town and the whole place is Christmas themed!
So. SO. MANY. LEGOS. We set up a brand new Lego City using all Lego Friends sets that were given to us. Each day there’s some new happening going down in the City!
Doing a copy work card that she wanted to make for her Pops who’s been quarantined while he undergoes radiation. She asked me to write down what she wanted to say and then copied it down onto the card in her own writing. Copy work, especially when in their own words, is an invaluable learning resources when it comes to reading and writing.
We spotted this gorgeous lady on the wall by our front door and gave her a photoshoot that she rocked!
Nana’s house has a whole flock of hummingbirds that constantly flit between the feeders and flowers. We had fun watching them, seeing their behaviors and noticing differences between the different hummingbirds!
