Museum of natural science field trip

Friday we went on our first field trip with the Baytown homeschool group. We went to the museum of natural science. This was the first time the gnomes have ever been there and we had a great time. The kids all enjoyed the butterfly exhibit & trying to find the butterflies that were in their cards. They also loved the dinosaur exhibit. Aubrey was scared at first because they are so huge but then she realized how awesome it was. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to be able to have my kids home with me & teach them about different things in the world.

Dirty girl 2013

This weekend I went to Austin with 3 of my friends to do the dirty girl mud run. It's a 5K with 13 obstacles in it that are all in the mud. It was so much fun. I was so scared I was going to break my leg trying to run on the rocks so I didn't do a while bunch of running . I was very proud of myself , Kathryn, Kris & Sara because we completed every obstacle. There were some that were kinda scary because we were covered in mud like going up a huge rope ladder praying you didn't slip & fall to your death... Ok nothing like that happened but it was scary. It was nice just to spend time with the girls in a quick overnight trip. I can't wait to do it again.
