Oh my, June has zipped by and we're almost halfway through July! Time to catch-up:
Caleb built some alternative energy models for the Human Ecology Fair at school. This is a hydroelectric generator. When they ran water down the chute, it generated enough electricity to make a buzzer go off.
We spent Father's Day at the Boerner Botanical Gardens. David's dad and wife came to visit also.
I took five boys with me on our annual camping trip....
....where they got to make ice cream, along with spending a day playing on the beach, general hiking around, and all around fun.
Caleb left for a week to camp with his Boy Scout troop.
I turned 39, and to celebrate....
....we went to pick strawberries....
....and peas....
....and made a lot of jam.
Happy birthday late! I guess Strawberry picking is something good to do on your birthday. What I really want to know is, what are you going to enter in the fair this year? Anything?
ReplyDeleteThat is a lot of jam! Since I have girls old enough to drive, they are designated to go strawberry picking with the little boys. Camping with 5 boys is brave indeed!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I went strawberry picking a few weeks ago and it was so much fun. Happy birthday!
