Day 8 May 5

-Laundry
-Anne of Green Gables audio book
-Walked to the library (again - makes me so thankful for ours!)
-Found the Shipwrecked ship
-Thankful for how even a short walk to the ocean improves everyone's frame of mind - no matter the weather 
- Wild Kratt brothers for learning
- hearing the girls read books to themselves 
It doesn't look too bad on here, but in reality this laundromat is disgusting!

Because you just have to try it, right?  ;)  I really wish we would have had another family join us at the beach. Now that Paul the Tile Man isn't around, and Kylar is back in class tomorrow, I'll have to find some other adults to talk to at some point. There is another homeschool mom who lives on this street - hopefully, we can meet up this week....
