We're Going Back in Time a Teeny Bit

Over the summer I met a new Homeschool Mom, she decided to join our homeschooling group (along with 2 other cool Moms). All 4 of us found we were using the same curriculum this year. That was our first immediate connector but as I spend time with each Mom one on one... I find there are lots more things we have in common. Remember those icky moms I see at HC's ballet class? These Moms would NOT be classified in that group. These Moms are the good ones! :) Anyway.... so back to my story.... Mom 'A' and I met up at the park one afternoon so that our girls could meet. Our girls were thrilled to see each other again. Here is HC and her friend V. V and HC ran to greet one another. They posed together for a pic and JB wanted to join in too.. so they obliged him with a courtesy picture with them.
Before we had this park day we went to a local Botanical Garden and learned about trees. This led the girls on a more detailed inspection of the trees at the park. They began screaming excitedly for us to come and A and I were concerned something was wrong.
We arrived at the tree to hear (more clearly) screams of "WE FOUND SAP!! WE FOUND SAP!!! LOOK AT OUR SAP!" They were all eager to touch the sap but we advised against that object lesson and they thankfully went on playing.

Next it was time to 'build a fire pit'. HC and V were kind enough to let JB and V's brother L participate. These two girls KNOW how to plan and organize their time.
A closer look at the pit. I love the spontaneous fun of kids.
