Week 8 and the pumpkin patch

Rose and I decided to go visit Gma and Gpa Irvin next week in Kentucky.  So this week we did 1 1/2 weeks worth of school and the week we get back we will do another 1 1/2 week.  So next week we can take an unscheduled Fall Break to KY and not get behind in our studies.  win-win!

This week we learned about George Muller, Canadian nature, farming and industry, plant life and so much more!  

Here is pic of her Celery xylem experiment...

At Keepers Club we always begin with scripture and singing our theme hymn.  This week we learned embroidery and the girls started a sampler.

Family dinner out at our favorite restaurant, thanks to an online coupon.

Rose and her two great friends!

At swim this week Rose has been practicing the underwater flip you do when you are swimming laps and get to the wall.  I don't know what it is called or how to do one myself.  It is encouraging to see some of her skills go above what her former lifeguarding mom and dad can do.

playing dress-up while skyping with gma and gpa...  While I was chit chatting, Rose would come in and out with various outfits to model for them.

Our friends invited us to go their favorite pumpkin patch, so we took a Friday Field Trip over to California to  Wemble's Pumpkin Patch.  We had a picnic lunch at a campground with some beautiful deciduous trees.  Rose was excited to catch a falling leaf before it hit the ground.  

On Saturday, Rose and daddy went to a community free-swim at the local pool.  We played board games in the afternoon.  Then before heading over to the UNR football game, we stopped by the corner church's fall party.  Rose had fun playing games and making s'mores with one of her homeschooling friends that goes to that church.
