Pictures of our visit to Turkey Run State Park

Monday-
Left-overs week-plus Dh is home this week, so we are doing more field trip things than book things this week. Yesterday we spent the whole day and ate dinner at "Turkey Run State Park". We brought our picnic lunches, then hiked all day, then enjoyed a buffet dinner at the Inn. It was a really special and wonderful day. There were LOTS of people there-which is confusing since it was a Monday and school should be in; but there were loads of people and kids on the trails....bummer about seeing people when we were hoping for more quiet hiking.
Tuesday-Aqua Athlete's class & math
Wednesday-around the house & some lessons & woodworking with Pappa-building and finishing a box together & lots of prep work and rehearsals for speech class.
Thursday-LHE co-op.  Dd gave her "Presentation" on Sophie & Great Danes & Black Lab. Retrievers and did a great job! and math
Friday-visitors from church came (the Landrum's) and math
(Math U See-Gamma 19E to 21 B)
Board Games this week: Backgammon, Othello, and Sequence
