Camp Okizu ’10

27 Sep 2010

We had a quick but wonderful time at Camp Okizu family camp – the weekend was called “bereavement weekend”. It’s so special up there. Definitely worth the long drive – Oscar, “Are we there yet?” after > 1 hour.
Here’s a map that shows where the camp is (it’s the first question everyone asks.)

We paddled a canoe, hiked, collected acorns, swam in the lake, oscar caught a fish, did some archery, played connect four, sang at campfire, and of course we talked about Ava. In the morning we lit candles for her. It was a good trip!

Oscar’s House – First Homework

23 Sep 2010

By Oscar, Age 5

The homework assignment is to learn your address, and draw your house, numbers included.
I definitely helped him (!) But the drawing is 100% his own. I showed him where to put lines, but I never touched the pencil! We used a picture of the house that Mark pulled up on his iPhone.
We’ve been seeing so much more willingness to draw since Kindergarten started (a huge relief to me!). After I scanned the picture, he colored it and let’s just say it lost a bit of it’s genius. But I had a feeling it would – that’s why I scanned it first! ha.
