Laboring on Labor Day

Hello!  Mark and I did a little typing this morning...although it is a holiday, since we did not get a chance to work last Friday, I thought it would be good.  He did great on his spelling words and I have been giving him less to copy and making him think of how to type the words.  He was not too focused today...had to get him in the right state of mind but once he gets working, he does great!

After our "work", our family went to Elk Creek Falls and had a picnic and played in the waterfall.  Then, came home and had ribs on the grill...great end to summer!  Now, patiently awaiting the start of the school year....

These are the star garnets we found on Friday...will take them to the Gem Store tomorrow to see if we have any star garnets (which can only be found in Idaho and India).

Some pics from Elk Creek Falls...there are actually 3 falls...Upper (20 feet high), Middle (70 feet high) and Lower (50 feet high).  We just go to the Upper Falls because this is the only place where you can actually get into the water and play at the base of the falls.
