We started a new adventure this year and used the KONOS curriculum to guide us in some learning fun.
I was also part of an on-line Konos co-op of moms from all over North America. It was so amazing! Community, accountability, and still so much independence to raise your family.
As much as I need a summer vacation I am really looking forward to next year. The core of it all is a focus on developing children with strong, Godly character traits. All our studies and adventures spring boarded from the traits we were working on. This year we worked on developing trust, patience, honour and orderliness.
I decided to post the pictures we took of many of our activities over the past 6 months. We often forgot the camera, so this is just a sample of the fun we had. Mason and Parker have helped out with all of the captions. If you wish to see a full sized photo just click on the image.
