This short week has felt pretty long... luckily we've had beautiful weather and quite a bit of fun.
Ian headed to work on Friday as after two whole day in a row of homeschooling I decided I needed a break! LOL. Honestly though I haven't been sleeping well and wanted to make sure I focused all my attention on Alec and getting him successfully through his first week of school. After dropping Alec off I did work on my blog, got the house decorated for fall, and then Evan and I worked together to clean the whole thing! It felt so good to get those items off my to do list. I'll have a full post up soon but here's a little look at my fall decor.
We went for a hike after lunch, checking out a new trail before picking Alec up from school. He was all smiles talking about his day and assured me he loved his first 3 days.
Alec told me he could take pictures of all his projects if I wanted as each teacher has been reminding the students to get their phones and take photos-- …
My husband and I have a fascination with light houses and have been to most of them in Michigan. What a great little trip!
ReplyDeleteWe have quite a few up and down the New England coast and I decided we really need to try and make an effort to see more of them.
DeleteI see we are neighbors!
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I haven't been to Beavertail in such a long time. There really is no excuse as it is only about an hour from us. :-) It truly is such a beautiful place.
Thanks for sharing your unschooling field trip! It brought back nice memories of my homeschooling days. :-)
I had never been before but we will definitely be going back. Funny enough we tend to visit for Wetherill a few times each year and just never realized how close those two places were.
DeleteI love Lighthouses and this one is gorgeous, si is it´s surrounding :)
ReplyDeleteIt really was amazing out on the point like that. My boys loved walking all around on the rocks.
DeleteJoanne, what a great way to spend the day. My hubby and I love going to the historic parks anytime we travel. We've learned so much about our country and heritage xo

ReplyDeleteThank you! We thought the rocks were really neat too.
DeleteOh well, never mind about the museum being shut but what a beautiful day to have a walk about. Well worth while I think whether it shut or not. :) x
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for linking up with us on #ExplorerKids
It was a beautiful day and we really loved the area.
DeleteOh I do love light houses - that one does look like it is in a great place too. #explorerkids
ReplyDeleteI love them too; they're all so uniquely designed.
DeleteWe have a lot of historic lighthouses here in Maine, and we're trying to get to as many as we can.
ReplyDeleteWe have gotten to just a couple of the lighthouses in Maine.
