Swag Tent — On the banks of the Missouri River in South Dakota

Swagging is to travel with one’s personal belongings in a bundle, and that is what I did from New Jersey to Southern California with my Outback Swags Pioneer Tent keeping me comfortable all the way.

We had a beautiful day with our homeschool co-op family today at the creek. It was a much needed quiet, peaceful day in nature, and another sun dappled homeschool memory for the kidlets.

I love that we get to be a part of this community.

We spent a very mellow 4th of July camping on the central coast. The day consisted of spending time at the Morro Bay Natiral History Museum, watching birds, making tracks, and watching puppet shows. Then we did our Junior Ranger book while watching the otters (can't beat that classroom). Then, as the fog rolled in, we walked the rear walkway on the embarcadero and watched the bay life. We ended the evening with dinner by the ocean and one lone firework that made it past the fog. All in all a perfect escape from the heat to the south, and a very nice way to spend the holiday.

Hunter worked really hard on the Jumior Ramger book and got sworn in right before we left this morning. We've done a bunch of National Parks, but this is her first state park badge, and she's super proud.

We aren't used to staying in campgrounds, as dispersed camping offers more privacy, but this one was quiet and clean, and even full for a holiday weekend, not at all crowded feeling.

We had a little nature walk with some of our @wildandfree.foothills family this last Thursday before it got too hot.

Not only was it beautiful, but the kids made some really cool observations including the passion fruit flower looking like a frilly skirt from Livy, and worked together to fill out their bingo cards (Hunter declared herself on web watch)

They chased lizards in the sun together, spent time fanning themselves and looked for spider webs in the shelter of a rose covered portico, watched turtles and dragonflies at the pond, ran through sprinklers on the grass, and climbed through the roots in the dappled shade of beautiful trees.

Just a little bit of what our homschool days look like. More often than not these days are a mess of love and chaos, but when we come together like this, they become these soft beautiful memories and I love that we get to share in them.

Got all of the rigid insulation in the @ovrlndcampers and you can see what's left of 2 sheets of polyiso. Next is to get the smart shield over the frame and decide what to skin it with. Thinking about sintra but will probably just do luan. For the roof I am thinking @havelock_wool Might try and get the @23zerousa privacy tent installed tomorrow

Day one of our trip last week saw us visiting some cousins! Hunter discovered that she loves the arial silks and wants to try some classes at home!

We had too much fun to stop for many pictures ❤️

Stem Science experiments today with Ms. Monica at @wildandfree.foothills. We really love science experiments in this family so this was a really special day. We got an opportunity to paint paper with food coloring and shaving cream (it gives a really cool marble effect), make it rain in a jar, we made elephant toothpaste and we planted seeds in jars to watch them take root!

All in all a fantastic school day outdoors in the sun.
