Field trip 

Went to PetSmart to observe several fish and even came home with a new addition.  Got a male Veiltail Betta and the kids named him Bartholomew Theodoneis Franklin the 3rd.  He is so active and a great addition to our family.  Got to enjoy the pool a lot this week, the weather was perfect and the water wasn't too cold.  Trying to enjoy the pool as much as we can before fall arrives.




Conclusion 

This week we continued our lesson on Jesus being the bread of life, Elijah, the last supper, the prodigal son, our studies of the book of James, Gustavus Adolphus, John Bunyan, and the Calerts and the land of refuge.  We also read on the Thirty Years' War, Charles loses his head, Cromwell's Protectorate, plague and fire, Lord Baltimore, the great lakes, and American Pioneers and Patriots.  Studied more about yeast, bread, canoes, all things about fish, archerfish, and Baroque and Vivaldi.  Also added a new member to our family, a betta fish which the kids call Bartholomew Theodoneis Franklin the 3rd, such a big name for a little fish.  He is one of the most active betta we've had.  Great addition to our family, kids love to sit next to his tank and read stories to him and talk to him.  Now unto next week to see what adventures are in store for us.  

GOD BLESS!
