Field Trip

The boys had a field trip yesterday. Not for them, but for their geckos. 

These boys love their lizards!

Quaran-Fun

Quarantine has been boring and lonely at times, but we’ve kept ourselves busy with some random fun. 

We have gone on lots of bikes rides. 

And decorated rice crispie bunnies. 

Cache has enjoyed watching Scott work on his trailer. 

And he even got to help once.

And we all enjoyed playing Uno with the Texas Mennear’s over FaceTime. 

The boys took their boredom out on Luna and dressed her up. 


Then, she took her boredom out on them.

Kyle and Beckett got creative and turned into Byle. 

My favorite boredom buster was our trip to BlackTail lake. We packed a lunch and played homeschool bookie. It was just what we all needed for the day. 

We’re lucky to live in such a fun neighborhood. Everyone has banned together and drawn hopscotches up and down the sidewalks. They’ve made walks so much fun! 

Weekend Work

My family has never been so excited to work! After a long winter and weeks in quarantine, we were finally able to get up to Ashton and work on our property. Between us and the Snarrs we had a mini crew of 2 dads and 5 working boys. The moms build picnic tables, watched the little boys and prepared the food. The boys even had a chance to ride dirt bikes.

It was a great day and just what we needed. It was nice to get out of the house, change scenery and spend lots of time outdoors and away from screens. I can't wait until we can get the trailer up there and start some actual camping. We're thinking a couple more Saturdays worth of work should do the trick.
