SL Core D Week 14 "A" LOW /SL Week 15 July 11-27th 2011

Working on TOPS:Radish experiments this week (all month)

We have had such a super busy time lately, that I haven't updated what we are doing.
7-11 We had our Artemis Fowl bookclub at the library.  She rec'd the second AF book and checked out the "graphic novel" for that second book too.  We also went swimming in the morning at our YMCA.  Our lessons fit in around our activities each day.
7-12 Our church had a "Water Day" and dd got to bang & bruise herself on the slip & slide.  She had a blast; but has way too many bruises for my liking.
7-13 YmCA swimming in the morning and Library in the after.  We fit in our lessons after the activities.
7-14 Bible Study at our friends house; lunch, YMCA-Swimming, and lessons to finish the day.
7-15 Lessons during the day; and a **booksale** in the evening!
7-17 We drove down to southern Indiana to visit G&G Isom.  Dd had a good time swimming in their above ground pool with her girl friends.
