      In February we made some crafts for Valentine's Day and went on some field trips. Bekah went with all the 5th graders on a 3 day trip to study the Gold Rush, they got to pan for gold and learned to make corn bread and other fun stuff. 

     I'm home schooling Lizzy for 5th grade and we went with a group to tour the state capital building we learned a lot about the building and how the run the government there.

    Then Rich and I spent a weekend in Sacramento to celebrate 18 years of marriage! We stayed in a cool old hotel called the Capital and went to a comedy club, it was great fun! And the kids took care of them selves :)
