Julian Mining Co.

The kids had a field trip to the Julian Mining Co., and with the home school program, all members of the family can attend. (I heard there were 200 people from the home school program who attended.) I am not sure who had a better time...the kids or me! It was such a fun time. There were about 9 sections for us to visit. My favorite was the gift store.

The petting zoo.

Thought this would have been a cute background for a picture. Gunnar decided he was too cool with his school friends around to take a family picture. I guess I asked for it!!!

The kids writing letters using a feather and ink.

Apple cider making time...

Ethan with his apple for the cider.

Faith with her Prince, Ethan. She swears they will be married one day and have three children: Sarah, Faith, and Eric. Ethan is 2 days older than Faith. They have been friends since birth! He feels the same about her.
