Black History Month

This February Evie and I studied black history, like we do every year.  However, this year we each read a biography and did reports on our famous people.  Afterwards we visited The Henry Ford Museum to visit their exhibit called With Liberty and Justice for All.  Here are some pictures of our adventure!

Here is Evie with her guy - Frederick Douglass

Evie did a special report on Frederick Douglass, and here are the portrait and movie she did for him:

The Christmas Post

Mommy has been very busy this year, because she took on another teaching job.  She just realized how long it has been since a blog post has been written.  Here are some of the great times we have had in the last few months.

Fall Fun

We have been having a great fall.  Here are some pictures from our adventures!

Papa Tom took us on one more boat ride of the season.  It rained, but it didn't stop us.  It was warm anyway!  We both got to drive the boat on the water too!

Then, like every fall, we went to Apple Charlies and picked apples, fed the animals and had a great time.

Halloween came next.  This year we did not go to Greenfield Village for their Halloween festivities. But we still had a great evening. The rain even stopped just long enough for us to go trick-or-treating.

As an extension of our homeschooling, we visited the Detroit Institute of Arts and saw the Dia de los Muertes exhibit.

One last picture that Mommy took of fall at our house.  We decided to rake the leaves in our backyard and even took them to the curb.
