Children left to themselves ...

Will build themselves a hot air balloon, using the most basic of materials.

{Excepting Dad's air bubble}

 

They were deflated, but not discouraged, to find out that this contraption wouldn't really take to the air.  I admire so much their creativity and determination!  Just one more plug for the freedom of home educating.

{And yes, sometimes these children left to themselves really do complete the well-known Proverb.  I just don't happen to have my camera in hand as often when that happens!}

Sunday Afternoon Walk

Through Arbor Lodge ... a favorite family tradition.

 

{ I'm thinking we snagged a Christmas card photo while we were enjoying the sights! }
