Camp Fire USA: Trail to the Future

This week we began the New Experiences project of the Trail to the Future in our level of Starflight, Camp Fire USA.  The lesson was called “A Yummy Snack.”  We first discussed healthy vs. non-healthy snacks, and then we made peanut butter.  At first, I wasn’t sure that it was going to work, but patience [...]

A Cute Story to Illustrate Just How Tough Kara Is!

Yes!  We got my new computer set up last night, so I should be able to start getting this blog caught up!  Getting information transferred from an old, broken system to a new one is always a “hold-your-breath” ordeal.  There were several moments last night when I wondered if I could get everything working appropriately [...]

Day After Thanksgiving Snow

It snowed a couple of inches yesterday, and the kids could hardly wait to get out and play in it!  It has been a pretty nice day today, so while Dan shoveled the drive, the kids made snow angels and plastered each other with snow balls!  There were lots of smiles all around!

A Very Special Thanksgiving

We made it home safely from our Thanksgiving trip.  We sure did have a nice holiday with Dan’s family.  All of his brothers and sisters and their families were able to attend, so that is always neat. 
Dan’s mother brought some old slides of when Dan and his siblings were kids.  Those were neat to see–I [...]

We made it to our Thanksgiving destination!

We drove all day and made it to our Thanksgiving destination!  There was a little snow on the way, but not enough to be much of a problem.  The kids were good all-in-all for such a long drive. 
We spent some time relaxing in the hotel before we went to Pizza Hut for supper.  Our pizza [...]
