The kids have grown a ton in the last four years since I have posted. We just finished out 9th year of homeschooling. Mac has graduated 8th grade and will be a highschooler and Oak has graduated 6th grade. They went from little to teenage overnight it feels like. 

I am actually trying to figure out how to put this entire blog into a book to publish which is why I am posting for the first time in four years. I wasn't even sure I knew how to post anymore, haha.

Week 27 more lakehouse fun



 We went to another family reunion and the kids of course got the famous golf cart ride from my Uncle.

 My brother and two nephews came from Utah for the reunion. I caught this classic.


 We got to see a cousin we hadn't seen in a few years. They were so excited to see each other.





 Then back to the lakehouse. Oak loved reading to the little girls and they loved anyone who would read to them.





 Heading out on the boat to watch fireworks over the lake. A tradition they love every year.



 This niece of mine is hilarious. I took something from her that she couldn't have and she totally gave me the stink eye. love her so much.



 My husband's great uncle's grandson comes over to visit when he is visiting from tennessee. The kids love him. This year he took all the grandkids to the dock to fish and he had the magic touch because with in an hour or so each kid caught about ten fish which would make for about 70 fish caught in an hour. The kids loved it.











Shooting air soft guns.
 On the way home one of my kids was about to have a meltdown with the nearly 6 hour drive home so we stopped at these falls and found a creek to play in. That got us through the last hour and a half home without much trouble.










 Our first day home was spent helping dad fence our future orchard to keep the deer out.


 Daddy let the kids drive the truck across the field. That thought that was so cool.


I had to drive the truck around the field several times as we hung fencing wire.
