Susanna and Edna at the Gardens, Oct 20

Edna and Susanna enjoyed a moment together at the Gardens.

Tim at the Gardens, Oct 20

Tim enjoyed his time at the gardens ... and in particular that lunch box!

Is it an Ent?, Oct 20

It isn't quite an Ent from Fangorn Forest, but the boys are experiencing playing with a large tree. All of the trees at our house are new, and not ready for climbing in yet. Perhaps in 10 years ...

Lunch at the Gardens, Oct 20

Katrina and Edna took the children to the Christchurch Botanic Gardens for an outing. Lunch was enjoyed from individual lunch boxes, a rare thing for our home educated children.

Lunch Outside, Oct 19

Daniel, Philip & Tim took their lunch outside, and enjoyed a picnic-style meal in the sun.

Enjoying the Jolly Jumper, Oct 17

Susanna is here enjoying the jolly jumper. Some of our children -- David particularly -- really enjoyed bouncing around in the jumper; this is Susanna's first experience thereof, and the smile says it all!
