On Monday the kids and I tried to find a fun breakfast place to eat while Abe went to work in the Raleigh office, but we were too late and everything was closed. So we ate breakfast at Whole Foods and went to Target for some things I forgot to pack.
The kids were confused by why I took a picture of them in the bathroom, but seriously, when traveling, we go to the bathroom a LOT. Ammon made–no exaggeration–five trips to this bathroom in Target alone. Back in our Airbnb the older girls wrote essays to questions I asked them about our Charleston trip. I made edits and after they complete the edits I made I will post them to the blog. I also helped Ammon with the mountainous pile of homework he got right before the trip. I was not planning on having to do three million worksheets while we are traveling and had a slightly testy exchange with his teacher about this. But I am very glad his teacher feels extraordinarily invested in his education. She did not really give an inch when it came to what she expects him to learn and complete while gone. At the end of the day, we are lucky to have her for his teacher and he has been learning an astonishing amount of things from her all year long.
Here is Mary and Clarissa working on a puzzle togetherPlaying with the pecans from the tree in the back yard. We did not know what they were at the time of this picture, but Ammon insisted we all smell them because they do smell, in his words, “amazing, right?!“
