Pictures from June: Missouri
June was a happy mon
th as Zion finished 6th grade (the longest academic year EVER) and the weather turned warm and sunny. The highlight of our month was a trip to Grandma Pam's house with a stop for camping at Blue Springs Ranch along the way. We stayed overnight in an adorable, comfortable cabin as the forecast was for rain...we went fishing and creek hiking in our favorite Meramac tributary, had a campfire complete with s'mores and songs, and caught dozens of baby toads and fireflies before staying overnight in our snug little abode. The rafting trip the next morning was cancelled as, true to the forecast, it poured buckets of rain. We visited the horses and fed them marshmallows before the storm hit, then packed it up and headed to Grandma's house. Building a redneck pool in the backyard was our big project for the week...imperfect, but refreshing. We loved seeing Betsy's family and watching Zoey play softball, and then having the whole Mullings family over for brownies.

Science Fair
Zion worked hard on his science fair project, an exploration of temperature and physics. He won an award for the most creative project in 6th grade!
Zen was on hand to help at the presentation.
Mexico Lindo y Querido...
I picked up this jersey for Zen in Mexico right before my surgery--it's a favorite of his!

Decorating Eggs
We decorated eggs a few times the week before Easter. We were joined one day by my student, Sergei. We went through dozens of eggs, but made yummy egg salad with them soon afterwards.
