Day 10 - Sept 2, 2016 - Fieldtrip

I can't believe that it is already Friday again! Today we got up earlier went to the store and picked up some snacks, filled up the car with gas. Went back tot he house and picked up grandpa and off we headed for the Zoo!  We will be meeting Morgan, Tristan and Rainy a the zoo. Its been a little bit since we had been there and loved the new additions the zoo has made. My kids thought it crazy to see them putting up Christmas lights!  Kids were great and had a wonderful time enjoying God creations. Chloie did think it a bit hot and was glad when we were back in the van to come home!  Here are a few pictures from our day at the Zoo!

**Kids received a challenge today to come up with ideas to have school be more fun but to also learn the things we need to learn!  Who likes reading and sitting at a desk all day?  It will be fun to hear what they come up with!

Ugh! Today has been a rough day, for 1, mom not feeling good and 2, the kids tired of school!  They have wanted to do little as possible to get there work done, they want to compromise and do half the work!
