God Gives Good Gifts: Part 4

While we were in Nauvoo, we decided to go to the Pioneer Memorial Cemetery really quick to see my 4th great grandfather, William Casper’s grave. He died in Nauvoo, shortly before the exodus. I hadn’t ever been to the Old Nauvoo Burial Grounds (also known as the Pioneer Memorial Cemetery) before and until learning about...

Campout #9 2019: American Fork Canyon

We went camping last night in American Fork Canyon. Our 9th campout for 2019! Getting to our campsite involved an adventure and a really neat miracle. You can read that story here. We enjoyed catching grasshoppers, eating cherries, watching wasps eat our food, and watching a beautiful sunset.

Pioneer Unit 2019: Campout

Last year we had a pioneer themed campout and we were looking forward to doing that again this year. Well, on Friday evening, we were all packed up and headed to the campsite when a big storm rolled in and it wasn’t looking promising. So we turned around and came back home. On Saturday, we...

Campout #7 2019: Strawberry Reservoir

We went camping again last night. This time we went to Strawberry Reservoir. Lots of bugs at this campout. More than any of our other campouts combined. But all in all, it was still a good campout. Our campsite wasn’t the best logistically… it wasn’t very flat and the lack of shade and bugs made...

They are careful about which paths they lead their sheep down – for the paths could lead to anything from green pastures and still, pure water, to serpents nests and wolf dens. It is imperative that the shepherd knows what path he is leading his sheep...

Some people meet potential dates online. I meet sheep farmers. ? Through a homeschooling group on Facebook, I was able to connect with a woman that owns a sheep farm and she invited us to come see her farm and have some awesome and unique experiences. When we first got there, we got to try...

Sheep Unit: He Restoreth My Soul

This entire book is fascinating and I thought this chapter was particularly interesting. I wish I could type up the whole thing. You’ll just have to go read it for yourself though. “Only those intimately acquainted with sheep and their habits understand the significance of a “cast” sheep or a “cast down” sheep. This is...

Sweden Unit: Midsommar Campout / Payson Canyon

Campout number 6 for 2019! We went to Payson Canyon and we couldn’t have had a more perfect campsite to celebrate Swedish Midsommar. I loved spending time in the forest. My Swedish blood was felt so at home. 🙂 Scandinavia has long, dark winters, so the arrival of summer is a big deal throughout the...

Morning Nature Walks: Noticing Little Details

We have been going on a walk around our neighborhood every weekday morning since the boys got out of school… so today will be our 15th walk I think. It’s been good for us to get outside and get some fresh air first thing in the morning. I have been noticing that it is also...
