Ok for anyone who doesn't already know here is my official announcement... Chris and I have decided it is best for our family to homeschool our children. We have been homeschooling since the last part of January.

Today we went to a conservation demonstration for a small group of homeschoolers. It was really interesting. Brett even sat through the entire thing and payed attention to every word. The kids got to see different animals and touch the animal skins the conservationist passed around. They brought home a bunch of different booklets and a poster but the favorite item was a little card with animal prints on it. Emily wants to go out and track some critters now!

After the demonstration some of the group went to Dairy Queen and we had lunch and let the kids go out to play on the playground. It was nice to let the kids get out of the house. It's been so cold lately they haven't been outside much. The wind was blowing terribly so it wasn't nice and warm but the sun was shining and it wasn't freezing so everyone had a good time. Here's a few pictures I took.
