My little ones like "The Sugar Creek Gang" stories. We have 5 on dvd's....and a lot of their books....so this was a great way to cool off, and pretend they were in the stories themselves.
As this was a homeschool field trip, we were blessed to go with a couple other families and enjoy God's creation, fellowship and fun at Mingo Creek! Today, the kids learned about inverebrates...specifically crawfish. They had a blast! 
It was my little nephew, Ty's, first field trip...after he got over not wanting to be dirty or wet...he ended up having a lot of fun! He especially loves to do whatever Ronnie does!
Anna loved it! She had so much fun looking for crawfish and playing in the creek! She is definitely my little nature girl!
After all of the children had a crawfish, the instructor sat them all down and taught them about different fish and fresh water creatures. Some people even found fresh water clams. I must say...Ronnie and Anna were very interested, but Ty was, too! He listened so well and wanted to be where all the big kids were.
There is a hollow sycamore tree that was the perfect photo op! We all had such a fun day!
I had to take this picture of Ty when we came home from the creek! He loves his corn-on-the cob as much as his Aunt Suzie does! We have a picture of Ronnie at this age eating his corn and they look so much a like!

Lots of family gatherings, lots of TOMATOES this year....and more preserving the harvest than we've done in years past. Looking foward to a vacation at the lake soon....but also looking forward to starting school again...getting Ron and the whole family into a new routine with (FINALLY) my husband working daylight and weekends off...cooler weather and actually...a slower routine for us. Hoping for a large round of canning/preserving in September and October...and very much looking forward to soups and stews, "nesting" and preparing for winter's unique joys in Pittsburgh! Blessings to you all! ~Sue~
