The Great Outdoors


We opened up our school year a bit early this year-in the middle of July-with a fun camping trip to Utah. We visited Bryces Canyon...







Zions National Park...
 



 
 






and lots of fun outdoor activities at the camp site....  
lots of climbing

early morning hikes with my favorite girls


getting camp names

learning how to build a fire and fire safety

Nature crafts


laughing about this GIANT goat staring at us in our little cabin


Motorbiking with Camden

nonstop playing for the Band of Brothers

Felicity loved having another "Baby" around

Girl time!

The older boys spend a good part of the day building this fire pit thing (FORGE)

Nonstop play and getting DIRTY

 Our annual line up by age


Our Theme this year is The Great Outdoors.  We will be learning about our Heavenly Father's Creations as we use seven days of Creation to pattern our learning.  We will learn to appreciate nature, learn about the science behind how Heavenly Father created our world, and learn to be a bit more creative ourselves as we learn about some amazing creators throughout history.  I am very excited for this year and look forward to some amazing experiences with my kiddos.  


And, we can't forget saying goodbye to Sister B!  Her last hurrah with the school group before entering the mission field.  What a great example she has been to all these kids throughout the years.  She will make a great missionary!!
