Back in the Blogosphere!

I think things may have quieted down a little around here. We managed to get away to Wyoming for a quick visit to our friend's beautiful ranch and returned last evening. I haven't posted any photos since at least the 4th of July and I have some so will need to catch up on activities around here. Last time I downloaded photos, my laptop wouldn't hold them, so we are using the cards and putting them on hubby's laptop. I will put them on a flash drive and then post from there.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit, playing in the mountain stream, horseback riding on part of the 7,000 acres, and a campfire to finish the evening, completely with hot dogs for the kids, grassfed steak for the adults and smore to cap it off. Pictures to follow.

I haven't fallen off the face of the earth! Really!

Many of you probably gave up on coming by my blog to see if I had written anything. Life is incredibly busy around here. It is not that there hasn't been newsworthy (or rather blogworthy) happenings. It's just hard to keep up when life is moving at the speed of light.

I hope you will give me another chance and I promise to post something worth your time. We have a new horse, a new dog, we took a field trip to the Blue Bunny Ice Cream factory, a vacation to Colorado to visit friends, plus a bagillion other things we've been doing this summer.

Since we started school, we've been involved in a science coop (with a total of 30 kids!) that is going great! Will be posting some photos from that when we get our projects finished. I may blog about the entire unit we are doing and then when we finish the other unit, we can show you the rest of our projects, experiments, etc.

Right now, I've got a basil plant that I have had in water since Friday (and I MUST GO MAKE PESTO!!!!). I'll let you know how that turns out, okay?
