It’s official!  For my kids, their last day was yesterday.  The only thing we have left to do is pick up grade cards tomorrow morning.   Soon we will begin our new venture into having 1 still in public school and 2 being homeschooled.  This is a huge decision for us, but we feel that this is where God is leading us at this time.  We’re very excited about it!  And nervous…..  It’s going  to be a big adventure.  I know we’ve homeschooled before but it’s going to be different trying to juggle also having one in public school.  Over the summer, we’re going to be signing up under a homeschool umbrella as well as looking into what teaching materials we will be using and what co-op classes we want to get involved in as well as joining our local chapter of THEA.   Lots to do this summer! 

As for entertainment for the kids before then, well we plan to take the kids back to Dollywood as well as to the Tennessee Aquarium and to play putt-putt.  We also plan to go swimming some (weather permitting).   The girls will also be spending a week at AWANA camp in June, so I’m not sure what Michael and I will do while they’re gone.  I’m sure we’ll get in some mother-son time somewhere.  Should be a fun, but busy, summer! 

We had a great time on Michael’s field trip last Thursday.  It ended up being a nice, sunny day, and it wasn’t too hot which was even better.  This was a place we hadn’t been to yet so I got to try the pizza and play a nice game of putt-putt with my son.  And the best thing is that we’ve found another local activity that’s very reasonable.  The price was $5/person for 1 game of putt-putt and $4/person if you want to play again.  Not too bad!  A nice weekday activity for the kids and me when we really need something to do but can’t go too far.

So, enjoy these few pics of Michael and his friend having fun and eating pizza and ice cream.

It was the perfect day for this outing!  We can’t wait to go back again this summer!
