Belle Vista

While most of our summer plans were canceled, including our beloved week at the cabin, we were still able to enjoy a few days in Arkansa. We enjoyed the amazing covered deck and had the entire no-wake lake to ourselves most of the time. It was the perfect getaway. 

Summer lately

This summer, just like the months before, has been a season of both/and. We have found sweet moments, but it's also a time of political & social unrest, a global pandemic that continues to worsen, and so many unknowns with what's to come. It's been hard to find a balance of staying informed & involved, while still trying to rest knowing we will need to be ready with whatever comes this fall. Here's what we have been up to. 

A progressive neighborhood celebration on the last day of school. Each house hosted an activity or treat and the kids traveled between them. It was so much fun! 

 Evening walk. 

 A protest downtown. 

 Games on the patio. 

 Time at the beach. 

 And in the backyard. 

 Another protest. 

 Fishing with papa. 

 Hamilton! 

Siblings

A series. 

 

 

Field Trips

One of the best parts of homeschooling was field trips. Once a week we would cancel most of our schoolwork, get takeout donuts & an iced latte, and find someplace beautiful to explore. It was a time to breathe fresh air, get outside of ourselves, and leave the stress behind.
