🌿 We had CRAZY FUN on our first Homeschool Enrichment day back!

We kicked off our new year with some fun get-to-know-you games, lots of laughs, and a little peek at what’s ahead. Our theme this year is “Wild About Conservation!” 🦊🌱

One very important thing we learned today: a good majority of our kids would choose a FOX over a RACCOON as a pet! 😂 (And yes… we all know neither one is probably the best pet plan!)

We had SO much fun that we completely forgot to take pictures! 📸😂 I think that’s a pretty good sign that we were having a great first day!

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out and shared in our day! We loved getting to know everyone and are excited for all the exploring, discovering, and learning ahead.

🌎✈️ What an amazing Storytime adventure! 📚🍎

Today we traveled around the world to gather everything we needed to make an apple pie! Along the way, we discovered something even more important: when life takes you on an adventure, it’s always more fun with friends!

We sang, played, traveled, laughed, and made wonderful memories together. ❤️

What a sweet way to begin our Passport to Books adventure! 📖🌎

🎨 We had such a fun time painting with the ladies at the Senior Center! Our latest painting featured a beautiful flower and wheat scene—and it seems we’re divided on the seasons. 🌻🌾

Some of us are hanging on to summer just a little longer… while the rest of us are already praying for fall! 🍂🎃

Thank you to everyone who joined us for a fun afternoon of painting, laughter, and good company. We love seeing everyone’s creativity shine! ❤️
