I would rather Rose get things herself, rather than always asking me to get things for her. One day I walk into the kitchen and see this.
Oh, I guess that is how you have been getting your own bowls.
Well, whatever works! :)

Fernbank Science Center and Forest
We had been to the Fernbank Museum several times but this was the first time we visited the Fernbank Center. We watched a show at the planetarium then viewed their exhibits and a handful of animals. We had a good time, but last month we were at the Salt Lake Planetarium and Fernbank was weak in comparison. But we still very much enjoyed it and our day together!
Being inside of a kaleidoscope was pretty cool......And, yes I would love to have 6 Rose's!
We had learned about this snake the previous week at 4-H camp, so we were pleased to see it. Rose knew right away that this milk snake was not poisonous. Would you?

bees!
In the garden
In the forest
finding some cool fungi
This video is during our walk in the forest. we came to a bridge and Rose wanted us to act out 'Billy Goats Guff'. So after we did our impromptu play, I asked her if she would act it out again for the camera. She was happy to, of course. And as you can see, she really gets into character. But no she at least didn't eat the leaf.....she did spit it out.
During our walk back we got caught in a very heavy down pour! We were soaked through and through. But we didn't let that dampen our day....it just added to our fun!

4-H Camp on Tybee Island (homeschool week)
We had a blast at 4-H camp. Since it was homeschool week Grandma and Grandpa Irvin came down and went with us (Chad, Angela and Rose) It was so nice all going together!! We had a cabin (concrete block building with bunk beds and bathrooms) just for our family. Rose's favorite class was the squid dissection, but loved it all - crabs & critters, beach ecology, and marsh ecology. The experience was fabulous. (but how can you go wrong when camp is on an island:) I learned a lot myself. I highly recommend it!! When we studied the beach, we were on the beach. When we studied the marsh, we were in the marsh. Hands on learning is awesome!
Rose also enjoyed our cafeteria style meals. Our family had KP (Kitchen Patrol) at the first meal. Which meant we helped set up the chairs and set the tables and after the meal we formed a tray line to clear the trays (one person dumps the liquids, another grabs the silverware to put in the bucket, and so on, until the tray was empty) and then wash down the tables and sweep the floor. Well Rose thought this was way cool and wanted to have KP at every meal :P She also enjoyed walking her tray up to the tray line after each meal.....so we finally learned to stay seated and she would walk all our trays up for us one by one. Obviously she has never spent a day in public school or this would not have been such a treat for her .....emptying trays.
The staff was great. They really took their time to make it fun and knowledgeable. They answered all the questions and were just plain nice! They said homeschool weeks are their favorite because the kids are so engaged and inquisitive and want to learn, and well behaved. The remainder of the year they have public school groups coming in.

The Most Adorable Class Ever
In our homeschool co-op, I teach the most adorable class of 4 and 5 year old girls. They are too cute! The girls are so adorable. The class is small enough that we can chat while they are working on stuff, which is so precious. They are all so sweet. The class is 10 Commandments Lapbooking which has been fun to teach. Another mom is my assistant teacher and helps me out. 
Aren't they just so cute?

Yellow Daisy Festival
We went to the Yellow Daisy Festival at Stone Mountain. It is a huge day walking through so many craft vendors :P (btw, we just browsed...didn't spend a dime...got some cute craft ideas though!) Rose always loves watching the girls clog dance. She will watch them all afternoon. The Bubble Man was there....he seems to be at a lot of activities we go to around town....He is always a hit. I mean, how can you go wrong with bubbles? The local Christian radio station had a booth for the kids to do free spin art. Rose enjoyed that.
Then of course, we had to hit some of our normal things that we do at Stone Mtn......like the ropes course.

Falling for you...
Or as the case may be.....Falling with you.
At the park, my friend offered to take a pic of me and Rose.
Somehow, I totally lost my balanced and well....down we both went.
But, hey, we are okay!
At the Park
This video is from one of our park days with some homeschooling friends....
