We just got back from a fabulous field trip to Amish country. I have been to Amish country a hundred times but this was fabulously organized by a great friend Kathy Haggerty. This was the sunrise on the second morning we were there. My mom came up to go with us and we traveled in my fabulous 12 passenger van with 12 friends and family!!

Trip to the Good Zoo
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!!!
Campus Martius
The same day we visited The Castle we also visited Campus Martius in Marietta, Ohio. Campus Martius was a 1788 fort for pioneers. It was soo awesome!! What was even greater for me, was when I was in the 3rd grade and we lived in Marietta, I went on this field trip with my 3rd grade class. It really has changed they had sooo much more!!

The kids also pariticpated in candle making…very interesting process.
The Castle~~~Marietta, Ohio
Last week we went on a great educational field trip to “The Castle”. It was so much fun!!! We went with a homeschool group from Marietta that we do not belong too but one of my best friends runs it!! So I got in on this field trip.
I thought they could have been a little more creative with the name.???


The kids made Kaliedoscopes that were treasured toys in the early 1800’s.

Idlewild~~SoakZone~~~Storybook Forrest
Our family headed to Idlewild/SoakZone/StoryBook Forest Labor Day weekend….the Saturday before Labor Day is known as “Church of Christ” day. So a bunch of us take advantage of the discount and head that way every year. This is our 4th year to go!! We all take crockpots of food and set up in a pavillion, so we eat for free all day!!!

If You Give A Mouse A Cookie…
Today we start we start school, soccer, Kenny has outpatient surgery and the Frankferd co-op order comes in. So this is a very busy day. I would like add that Kenny was added as a deacon at our congregation yesterday morning. I am so proud of him!
Last week we went to this cute play, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie…at Little Lake Theatre. The kids have always loved this book.
These were the 2 stars. The kids loved it and after it they all felt like they met ‘movie stars’!!
Little Lake Theatre is a dinner theatre, although this play was only an hour so dinner was served. You can see my 4 kids at the first table but our group was about 25 and extended as far as you can see in the picture.:)
Olgebay Good Zoo
Well I have been going field trip crazy here!! But we are having so much fun!:)We decided to purchase a zoo pass this year. Thursday we headed to the Olgebay Good Zoo, it is a very nice little zoo and only about 20 minutes from our house
They have a little animal hospital that the kids loved doctoring up there animals there.:)
They had this bird aviar that was really awesome..the birds were landing all over us!!
Fun at the Park..:)
The entire Rogers Family are officially Roller Coaster riders!!! I didnt think it was going to happen. But Paul and Camye surprised us all by wanting to ride the roller coasters and were actually sad they werent tall enough for some!!
We all went to Kennywood earlier this month with new friends that just moved here from Florida and another family from our church. Our families mesh very easily!! We all had such an awesome time!
