Zachary's First Day of Pre School
So even though we have done countless workbook pages, and just learning in everyday and every chance we can, this was the official start of Pre School for Zach. I wasn't even going to do anything official for him, except that Zach so badly wanted to start something, since Malachi was starting Kindergarten. So I'm putting together a little something for Zach each day. No official curriculum like Malachi does, though. He was just as excited. The first thing Zach sleepily said this morning when I woke him up was, "I'm so excited to start Pre School." Praise God. It was awesome.
First Day of Kindergarten
After waiting months and months, Malachi started his first day of Kindergarten today! We went to Walmart in the morning and splurged on a backpacks for him and Zach. The backpacks added so much more excitement to the day! After a shortened rest time, Malachi got up to do his first Kindergarten lesson. He already knows so much with letter recognition, letter sounds, spelling, etc that it was really easy for him. But I didn't want to skip the lessons he knows because each lesson teaches God's word and a character trait that are foundational to a God-loving and fearing life! He stopped one time in the middle of the lesson and had the biggest smile on his and said, "I can't stop smiling!" It was awesome. Thank you God!

Mouse Mine Ride
This is the Mouse Mine Ride at Tweetsie Railroad. It was a child's ride but gave a real pretty view. It was pretty fast too! One of the favorite rides of our kids.
Climbing the Mountain/Campsite
The boys spent hours climbing the side of this campsite, which was right next to us.
Tweetsie Railroad
We went to a great family-friendly amusement park called Tweetsie Railroad. It was an old time setting with county fair amusement rides, a petting zoo area, lots of cowboy, indian, and conductor stuff, and an amazing coal-burning train that brought us through beautiful country and to some old time re-enactments. It was one of the best camping times we've had. It was a wonderful way to say farewell to the three months we had apart!
Camping at Honey Bear Campground in the Blue Ridge Mountains!!!
Malachi's first fish he caught by himself. There was a trout pond at the campground.
Playing in and by the spring-fed creek.
The double swing at the campground.
This was the campsite next to us. It was too close to our campsite, when there were people occupying it. But when they were gone, it was perfect for the boys to go over and climb up the mountain and slide down-over and over and over again.
