School Ends, Field Trips Begin

We had a few fun field trips in June:

a trip to the Jago farm to see Mary and Maynard. We ended up helping feed their cattle. Ironically, we have a quarter-cow in our freezer from some of these calves predecessors...




we were able to pick a ton of strawberries from a patch in some friends' back yard...and had more than we could possibly eat in a few days. So we made some strawberry freezer jam. Annika helped mash the strawberries with a potato masher and Lauren accurately measured the required amounts of sugar.



we packed up our lunch bags (I packed my metal Nancy Drew lunchbox, too) and took the Martin County shuttle to the Red Rock Center where we heard some of the youth from our church play the music for Lunch with the Arts at the end of the month. This is us waiting for the bus to come.
