Tuesday afternoon, Heather, Joie, and I took in Epic at the movie theater. It's the second time we saw it, but it is a cute movie.
On Wednesday, I went back to work. Heather and Jo went to the Zoo with Grandma, Aunt Jessica, and cousin Gigi.
Thursday, nothing exciting happened, unless you count playing card games, playing toss outside, organizing shelves, and planning next year's school year exciting.
On Friday, Heather and Jo went to the farm where we volunteer. After working there for a couple of hours, they headed home to pack for our campout that weekend. Since it was with the American Heritage Girls troop, we got to learn about fire building and safety, cooking on the fire, and "leave no trace". We also enjoyed s'mores, skits, and songs and got to participate in a flag burning ceremony. The weather over the weekend was less than ideal, but we had a good time despite all the rain.
On Saturday, we hiked a trail and did a scavenger hunt. We got soaked on the way back to camp in one of the deluges we experienced that day. The girls played some games, did a craft, and cooked dessert on the fire. We ended the night with a presentation at the Cincinnati Astronomical Society. Unfortunately, it was still too cloudy to use the telescopes. :-( We definitely need to go back there when the sky is clear! We decided to head home that night to get a good night's sleep (and we did).
We are also keeping an eye on our buckets of vegetables on the deck. Not bad, considering these all started with organic soil and seeds. We've got the following:
- 6 Sungold Cherry Tomato plants
- 3 Pink & Green Tie-Dyed Tomato plants
- 5 Dill Plants
- 4 Thyme plants
- 3 Basil Plants + one still left over from last year (we kept in the kitchen over the winter)
- 1 Sweet Banana Pepper Plant
More fun planned for this week, too!
