Visiting Nanny's

We finally made it up to Nanny's house. It always seems like there is something else getting in the way of our trips up there. But, we were finally able to go, and man it was worth it. It is so nice to get up there to relax and visit. We had such a good time. We went to the Colorado River, played in the water, waded to a section that breaks up the river and looked for rocks and sea shells and watched the kids float down a small ways with the current. We took walks, rode around everyday in their Mule ( a large golf-cart type 4 wheeler farm vehicle) looking for deer and checking out the cattle. We played games, read some Marley history, and spent lots of time visiting. It was a great visit. We all had a good time.

When we left on Thursday, we drove back over to Austin to visit Adam's Aunt Tanya and her daughter Ashley. That was a great visit too. We shared pictures, played with the kids and visited. We don't see them often and the kids loved playing together. Ashley couldn't wait for Kameron to get to her house. It was a great 4 days, and I can't wait for our next trip!!

Check out my other blog for more of our trip!

Curriculum Clean Out

I found this site the other night, searching late, and was so excited. It hadn't started yet, but I finally remembered to check back today and it is way cool. It is called the Curriculum clean out and basically people are giving away homeschool material by way of a drawing. Each blog that is having a giveaway has different ways of entering and some of them have ways to earn extra entries. Check it out, it is til the 15th of August for most of them.
