Rachel (another homeschooling mama) has put together a fabulously fun and educational field trip to the Heber Valley Railroad!! We will get to experience a ton in this unique experience. You have to go to her blog for ALL the details for our group, but here is the direct link for the HVR:

We are saving like half because it is a group rate. Also, they are giving us unique educational opportunities too. HOW FUN! I haven't had the chance to do this and I have lived in Utah most of my life, so what a fun time this will be!

This is going to be a great. I am so excited! They will be talking about preserving history, which goes hand in hand with our big family theme this year.

Favorite Field Trips This Year!!

Our friends down in Southern Utah.

Kaden at the Treehouse.

Homeschooling Gymnastics Class (Younger Class!)

Homeschooling Gymnastics Class (Older Class) Getting ready to do some fun stuff! The teachers at Tanglewood Studios are amazing. Plus, their gym is fabulous! My kids love the super bouncy mats!

Mars at the Planetarium. We had about 100 people show up to this. It's fun to set things like this up for our community! Plus, they gave us a KILLER DISCOUNT! That was awesome!

The boys had a blast with their daddy while Kylee and I went to an excellent Conference for Homeschooling in Cache County.
