We had a fantastic day going to the FAMU Farm Fest!!! We got to the Farm about 8:30 am, then registered for the day. As we registered they gave us either gloves to farm with or a little lunch bag, all of us picked the gloves!! The boys were sooo happy to have work gloves. I think it made a great start to their day.

Donnie, Dalton & Chandler walking towards all the fun!!!

Part of the farm where we are about to get to pick some wonderful veggies!

Dalton found a tomato that has a growth on it, it looks like a little horn! What a cutie!!

Chandler trying to pick an eggplant, we had to go over & cut it with a knife. He was sooo excited to be able to pick those veggies.

Everyone loved pulling the potatoes out of the ground!

We came home with lots of banana peppers, green peppers, corn, okra, collards, eggplant, tomatoes, squash, jalapenos & potatoes

When we got home everybody was excited to help sort everything, wash it all, & put it away!

Working together to get it all done!

After a wonderful time at the Farm we were on our way home & Dad saw a blueberry u-pick it place & we pulled in there & picked blueberries for a while! We ended up with about 7lbs of blueberries too! I don't think the boys will forget this day for a very long time, they all had a wonderful day.

HomeSchool Conference

We had a great time in Texas at our home school conference. The Lord really blessed us while we were there. It was a great time of fellowship and learning!!

Before we left we had alot of work to do on our RV, so Brandon, Denver, and a friend came over one weekend to help!! We were very grateful for there help:)

Some played while others cleaned;]

Once we got there and got all set up another family came in beside us and needed a little help setting up,and so Dad and some friends pitched in and helped.

A few pine branches needed taken care of!!

So Mr. Greg and Dad did the job!!!

At the conference there are programs that students can attend. Dalton and Chandler did Children's Institute and I taught it. Cooper did ALERT Cadet and Tanner was a leader. Dad, Mom and Susanna, sat in the sessions and learned alot!! Well, we learned alot too=0)
