We had such a fun time with you all in Florida. We have had a busy week getting back into the routine. My order of rocks and minerals is mostly here so I am enjoying going through all of them. My third graders are making fossils this week - and next they start learning how to identify rocks and minerals. Monday night was family fun night at Clarie's school and we went and played bingo - Clarie won twice! Then we watched lots of volleyball games. Tuesday night Henry and I went to a backpacking store with his Boy Scout Troop and learned a lot about back pack camping. Big news this week is that Clarie got into the Fine Arts Center for visual arts! She is very excited (we are so proud of her). Love to you all
