The kids and I went on an awesome field trip with our homeschool 4H club to the Olgebay Good Zoo. It was for Blakes Herpetology class but all the kids go to enjoy the field trip. I sometimes cant believe what Chloe does for a good photo-op!!!

Crafty Fun at Homeschool 4H
Today was finally a day out…everything has been cancelled all month!! But 4h was a go today! Blake is taking a Herpetology class…which I did not know what that even meant but it is the study of Reptiles. As much as I dont like reptiles, his class is awesome and has great field trips in the future. The class is also making a lapbook (great for the portfolio). Camye started Jewerly making class today!! And it was awesome!! Above is Camye and her friend Ashlee, waiting for it to begin.

Our Heart and Home 4H club went ice skating in mid December! We really had a great time! Even I got out their to ice skate…a little scary….I did fall twice…but finally caught on.:) Chloe was flying around that rink!!

There was also a Club Scarecrow contest. Our club wasnt entering one but since Chloe is planning on running for president this year she thought she would try to win the club the prize of $75!!! She didnt win!! But she did a fantastic job on her scarecrow!!

Last but not least, they had “Food Fear Factor”. Only 10 participants, were chosen. Of course, my kids were picked but then 9 kids dropped out when they first saw the food, including my kids. So they asked if any adults would like to join in!! Of course,….Kenny did. He and another contestant both ate raw oysters, beef tongue, beef testicles, white fish, anchovies, a cup of buttermilk, a cup of mineral oil and a LIVE gold fish!!!
