Geography Fair 2012

In April we participated in our homeschool group's Geography Fair.  We went the easy route because we were throwing together our project at the last minute, and chose to do our project on Chile!  It was easy because that's where Jon served his mission.  So, we had a bunch of little items that showcased the culture there.  Jon and I traced the map on a long sheet of paper, and, okay, we colored it too.  We are such control freaks.  Oh well.  The children drew little pictures/icons of exports, produce, and other things that symbolized specific things we learned about Chile.  We got to the part and everything was set up trunk-or-treat style ... which was so great!  Although, our friends in the car next to us did their report on Argentina ... the sworn enemy of Chile!

MN Friends

Last Friday, our friends from Minnesota were driving from Los Angeles to visit family in Arizona.  They were so kind to stop by for a little while to visit with us!

They were only able to stay for a couple hours, but was so wonderful to see good friends and know that we are able to pick up right where we left off as though we had never moved away!  Love you our Minnesota Friends!
