This Months Happenings

We took a little trip to the Houston Gem and Mineral show this month - they were nice enough to have it in Humble, so we invited Dad to join us. They all had a great time!

These were the coolest things and this one was my very favorite! It is a rock that a guy paints on. Needless to say, Katie talked his ear off for a bit and we watched him paint some. These coons were my favorite - they are so cute! They can make this into a necklace - yep, I would sure wear it too!

Card just being himself. This was the black light room, so I could not see the look on his face until after I took the picture.

Dad and Card checking some stuff out. Dad treated the kids each to a bottle of real gold and their Dad-Dad (Will's dad) gave them each some money to spend. They each bought a sculpted rock (lapidary) - Card got a deer, Katie a horse, Bella a leaf with a ladybug.

BTW- these pictures were featured in our local homeschool newsletter! So ask the kids for their autographs next time you see them!
