Weekly Preview and Review

Some special outings happened last week.

Tuesday we went ice skating for the first time. David woke up not feeling well, so he did not go along. About fourteen families from our homeschool group joined us at the nearby indoor rink for a couple hours of skating fun. (I did not skate.)

Gymnastics was the focus on Wednesday afternoon. A local gym (home to gymnastics and cheer teams) is now offering homeschool open gym twice a week. We will try to go on most Wednesday afternoons at least until the weather warms up, or until soccer starts, whichever is first. David really wants to master the back flip and it's good for the others to run and jump for an hour and a half. (This is not the same gymnastics place we went to a couple years ago before we began karate.)

Going to this gym on Wednesdays will be taking us out of the house four afternoons a week, which is why we won't commit to being there every week. And they say homeschool kids need socialization?? LOL I need to protect our Tuesdays.

Suzy had a kids retreat through our Wednesday night church. The group headed to Lansing where they met up with several other church groups. The activities included a rec center where they could climb a rock wall, swim, roller blade, and more. Two services evidently taught them something but Suzy "can't remember". @@

On Saturday some friends and I gathered to spend the day watching the 1995 Pride and Prejudice (yes, that's the Colin Firth version). Fun times!
