More Horse Camp Pictures

We're still around and everyone is doing quite well. I've just been experiencing computer difficulties so I haven't had the desire to post lately. Sometimes it takes a couple of days just to load the pictures and somedays the keyboard doesn't even work. We just bought two new computers for the shop, so I'm expecting I will get Paul's old computer (it's only 1 year old, way newer than mine).

Here are some pictures that I've been trying to upload for a week.

Science Project

Today Emily made a model of an animal cell.

Putting the cytoplasm (jello) into the cell membrane (ziploc bag).

Putting in the nucleus (grape)

and the mitochondria (raisins).

The Animal Cell Model. It is missing vacuoles. I thought that air soft pellets or beebees would be perfect, but we couldn't find any laying around today. I'm always griping about them being in the floor all over the house. Now when I needed them, I couldn't find any. Oh well. We'll find something tiny and round around here somewhere. We will probably use beads and pretend that they don't have the hole in them.

Nolan squishing the cell almost to the point of bursting. We're hiding it in the fridge to show Daddy when he gets home.

Today was our 180th day of school so we are ready to take a break. I'm planning on doing a 6-week-on and 2-week-off schedule once we start up again in August. We both need a break to look forward to after a few weeks.

It's Horse Camp Time Again


Emily is so excited to be working with the same horse as last year.

Check out the red boots!

The girls think it is so funny to give toy food to Ruby since she puts everything in her mouth.


Nolan got some new cars shoes today and he just HAD to keep them on while he took a nap. He just got new shoes in May, but has already outgrown them.
