OMG...another post...learn nothing day

okay so friday, july 24th was learn nothing day and we met again at rock creek with friends for some food, fun, water, and NO LEARNING...NOT!!

i DID NOT get in the freezing cold water, but the kids did and they had a blast! mostly i hung out at the picnic tables eating and playing games.

one of the coolest things of the day was that ren saw a car with window marker on it that was about unschooling but didn't know who it was. when the car pulled back around to the picnic area, we swarmed them to find out who it was. turns out jana, jake, and josh were staying at the rock creek campground and thought the get together was the next day. they had just gotten there but i think they hadn't actually planned to come until later, so that was cool how it worked out. ren had met them at a conference recently so she introduced them to everyone. they ended up staying in the area for awhile and coming to several of our other get togethers and we made them official east tennesseans. in fact, they may be heading back this way for keepsies! hurrah!!

enjoy the picture show...

these kids rock, except samuel who never lets me get a good picture of him!!!!
