Road Trip Geocaching

 We enjoyed finding a few Geocaches on our recent trips to homeschool conventions. On our way to the Idaho convention in Nampa on June 2, we found:

• Roadkill Cafe - Cow
• Junction U.S. Route 395 and Highway 17
• Flag View South Bound
• Oregon Trail Adventure

On our way home, on June 5, we found:

• A Cache Unparalleled
• Last Chance

This past weekend, on our way to Puyallup for the Washington homeschool convention, we got off the interstate and took an old highway over Snoqualmie Pass. On this route we found:

• Ticket to Ride
• Snoqualmie Pass Travelers #6
• Snoqualmie Pass Travelers #5
• Snoqualmie Pass Travelers #4
• Snoqualmie Pass Travelers #3
• Snoqualmie Pass Travelers #2

Then, on our way home, we found the following at east bound rest areas along I-90:

• Stewart View Stash
• Winchester Wasteway Rest Area East
• Wi-Fi Drop By
• Leg Stretch at Sprague Lake

Geocaching is an interesting and fun way to stretch your legs for a bit when traveling... not to mention getting off the beaten path if you're so inclined.

Happy Father's Day!

I am so grateful for the Godly heritage my parents have given their children to pass along to the next generation. It was very special to have my dad come and speak at my daughter's homeschool graduation last week. Thank you, Dad, for your example and encouragement!

Washington Homeschool Convention

This weekend I will be hosting the Sonlight booth at the Washington Homeschool Organization convention in Puyallup, Washington. It starts Friday at 9:00 a.m. and you can register at the door. I will also be speaking on Friday at 11:00 on Raising Kids Who Love to Learn. 

As a special "thank you" to conference attendees, Sonlight is allowing me to offer a $15 coupon to each family who stops by my booth! Also, if you bring a friend who is new to Sonlight, I will have an extra small gift for you. Or mention that you read about this conference on my blog. These gifts will be available while supplies last, so be sure to stop by early. You will also have a chance to win my drawing for a special prize!

If you homeschool in Washington, I hope to see you there!

A Beginning

Graduation was beautiful. It was a fun day full of many special moments.

However, I don't think it's hit me yet that Laura has graduated. My parents are visiting us this week, and I have another homeschool convention to get ready for this weekend. Laura will be going home with my parents for the summer.

I bet reality will set in next week.

Idaho Homeschool Convention

This weekend I will be hosting the Sonlight booth at the Christian Homeschoolers of Idaho State convention. It starts on Friday at 8:00 a.m. and you can register at the door. As a special "thank you" to conference attendees, Sonlight is allowing me to offer a $15 coupon to each family who stops by my booth! You will also have a chance to win my drawing for a tote bag full of books! If you homeschool in Idaho, I hope to see you there!
