I began this blog with two purposes in mind. The first intended purpose of this blog was to document our homeschool journey and allow family members to catch just a glimpse of the activities that we do on a regular basis. I enjoyed taking pictures each week and the kids certainly enjoyed being featured in [...] I wish I could close this post by saying that I left with a bushel or two of apples (which was the plan!) but unfortunately the orchard we visited was having a problem with rot.
