Field Trip, Zane's Birthday and a trip to Pennsylvania

 We started the month of May with our last field trip for the school year to Ford Farms.  They are a mobile petting zoo, but we got to tour the farm and learn all about the animals.

We even got to pet the Zebra

Panning for gem stones

One of Hartland's year round interns brought over his extra tuba for Zane to play.  He had a blast and got some good sounds out of it.

During Homeschool Family Camp, Zane and I got to work on our Archery skills.  We also enjoyed listening to the Mr. J Band as music/speaker for the week.  Zane even got to play in some of the games.

Zane and Pops got to do the hula hoop game

Zane celebrated his 7th birthday with a party on the ball field playing soccer.  He had a great time playing with all his friends and staff.

At the end of May, I got to spend a week at South Mountain YMCA camp in Reinholds, PA for a CHA certification.  I got to work with an amazing certifier, Erin.  We certified five new riding instructors for CHA.  It was a beautiful area with so much old history.
