I have been sick!  I have a sore throat, swollen tonsils, runny, stuffy nose, sneezing etc... 

I'm sorry I haven't been on here. 

I promised to post pictures of our nature hike, so here they are:

Here are my kids from my 20yod to my 7yos.  My daughter is holding hands with a young man that has been courting her. 

It was cold, so most of us wore coats, but as you can see, a few of the rebellious ones didn't.  LOL  They suffered the consequences.  Here we are walking over a frozen lake.

Here is a better picture of the lake:

My 15yos had to climb up to the top of the island in the middle of the lake and have dad take his picture.  I was at the bottom panting to death.  LOL

And dad had to take one last photo of the sunset before we left and came home for Sunday dinner:

It was too cold that day to do much more than explore and find some cool stones, some animal tracks, and throw rocks at the ice in the middle to see how big of a rock we needed to break through the weak part.  LOL

We did some paintings of a frozen waterfall, but I don't have pictures of them.  I'll have to post them another time.

Happy Learning!
