Not- Back- To- School Picnic

We attended the Westside Homelearners Picnic at Jericho Beach on Wednesday. The weather was beautiful and we were able to catch up with some familiar families and meet some new ones. This was a great way to kick off our third year of homeschooling.

Pull Up Bar

I used to have a pull up bar in my bedroom growing up. We just got one here. It's great for burning crazy monkey energy and developing upper body for pole tricks. The boys are a little short so they made their own "nest" to climb in to reach the bar.

Climbing at Hive

August usually takes the boys to Hive on the weekends to get some of their energy out. But this week we all went and joined in the fun. Since the boys are more experienced, they climbed their way to the top without any fear. For me, I was more cautious and liked to stick to the easiest routes. We all had a great time and toned muscles we don't normally use. Can't wait to go back again.

Swimming Lessons

The boys really love their weekly swim lessons with Sarah. We started a few lessons with her back in the spring at their friend, Cap's pool. When Cap moved, we recommended Sarah to their friend Connor from soccer and now we swim there. She is really fun! At first the boys weren't too sure about lessons but now they look forward to it.
