Hi Lori. What a great post today. I did Vegas several years ago "with the girls" while the guys went on a golf vacation. (that was the last time they did that LOL...I think they were afraid we were having too much fun without them :o)...) Anyway...my favorite part of the trip was renting a car and driving through the mountains...over to Lake Mead etc. Thanks for another great lesson on the beautiful US of A!

Yes, the book for this month we picked was Linnea in Monet's Garden by Christina Bjork and Lena Anderson. We read the book, had the same foods they had in their picnic for snack, discuss the book and then painted. I bought canvas for all the kids and we had water colors, oil paints and sketch pencil's for everyone to 'try'.

The boys lost attention pretty quick. The girls did very well.

Next month, our them is Apples. Apple picking at the far, then baking sauce and pie.

The book, of course! Johnny Appleseed.
