Swimming!

Today we went swimming with the kids from a little one room schoolhouse. My friend, the girls' fiddle teacher, teaches there. Last month we went with them to the fire hall for a tour, out for pizza, and bowling. Today was just as much fun as the last time. I tell you there is something wonderful to be said for a little country school. If I didn't homeschool, this would be where I would love to send my kids. These kids are so polite and friendly. These kids and my girls all get along so well. They hardly know each other, but they started right up playing games together in the pool. We spent three and half hours there swimming. We did take a little break for some pizza, but as soon as they were done eating, they were right back in the pool.

Here is a picture of all the kids together.

Allison loved the water, too!

Other than this fun day, nothing exciting going on here as far as school goes. We are actually on another four day weekend. This following the public school schedule is actually kind of nice. The kids were off on Thursday for Veteran's day. The school then just gave the kids Friday off because with it being deer gun season, they realize that most of the kids won't show up for school on Friday anyway. Yep, we have our priorities straight out here in the country! I am enjoying this, though. Maybe this is the key to preventing burn-out?
