The hike down wasn’t too bad, even if not well signed. The march back up to the top? That was a LOT of stairs!
hometown saturday: scavenger hunt
We had fun doing this Cluetown scavenger hunt. I’d love to see it expanded into more far reaching, more challenging, maybe even team or collaborative challenges. Why stop now?? Want to share a photo from a hometown of your this week? Link up below! Please share a link back to this page in your post

On our way up to Cloudland Canyon, Chloe did some reading. She wants to quit the summer reading program since it is too stressful to record reading hours as opposed to just reading for fun. (That’s my girl! ๐
photo friday: high and low
Last San Francisco Photo Friday, I promise! It’s been almost two months since the trip, so time to finish up and move onto our trip to NYC and our summer camping adventures. I had no clue how to get to the top of Telegraph Hill in order to visit Coit Tower – a place I

One of Camille’s suggestions of things to do for our Summer 2013 Passport was to make flower headbands. Not really my thing, but she made hers. Looks like something a bride might wear, but I’m sure it is for some costume that she’s working on!
celebrations: week 24 (10-16 jun 2013)
Summer’s here, and it’s time to celebrate!! This past week, we celebrated “Hug Your Cat Day” and “National Yo Yo Day” (although Chloe’s yo-yo broke the day before the holiday…). And of course, I celebrated “National Go Barefoot Day” as I celebrate that almost every single day! Coming up this week: 10: Iced Tea Day

Today we started our “Downtown Decatur” scavenger hunt from Cluetown. Unfortunately, thunderstorms rolled in. Thankfully, the clue we were working on at that moment led us TO OUR HOME!
happiness project: energy (june)
So, how did it go, my happiness project topic for May? Als, not so good. I had a couple of truly low periods during the month. I did not have enough energy to even attempt to do the things that might have helped me improve my energy levels. But ever since getting out of town

Tonight we walked over to the library to hear one of our longtime favorite kindie bands — Lunch Money!
Georgia: Traveler’s Rest
As we continue with our field trips related to our Georgia history studies, I decided to find a field trip that was close to a state park where we could camp. So last weekend, we headed to the Travelers Rest Historic Site. Only open on Saturdays form 9-5, we couldn’t make it on a weekday.

I picked Phelix up from the boarders this morning. When he got home, he ran to my bed and fell sound asleep. I think he had too much fun this weekend with all his friends!
Happiness Project: Being Authentic – Item 3
I’m still struggling with the second item of 22 Things Happy People Do Differently. I will continue to try to treat *everyone* with kindness. This week, the challenge is to: 3. See problems as challenges. I say this to Chloe all the time. Unfortunately, I have not been great at following this advice for myself

We knew the day was going to be a bit rainy, and we were looking forward to it. But when it turned torrential with a potential for hail, we decided to pack up and head home….
summer passport 2013: week 2
This week, we completed *seven* more of our summer passport activities. I fear that with as little time we are spending in town, we are going to find it hard to get to the local items on our list, but we’ll try! This week we completed: 1. Create summer passport stamp: 30 may 2013 2.

I made my first campfire! It may not have been perfect, but we got the logs to burn and managed to make smores, too!
