July (11/180)

 We took more time genuinely 'off' this summer than usual.  It has been a long year and a quarter!


We completed 2nd, 6th, 9th, and 11th grades with evaluations and our traditional ice cream parlor visit afterwards:


We learned about fire safety by setting off minor explosives in our backyard on the traditional day to do such things (4th of July):


The girls did lots of hiking, including a trip up Hawk Mountain:


And some gardening:


We celebrated D's birthday with some crafts and (Health) a COVID vaccine:




Matt's aunt died after a long struggle with pulmonary illness, which was the occasion for a reunion with Matt's side of the family, most of whom we hadn't seen in 18 months.  There was music:


A visit to the National Gallery of Art, lots of crafting:





And hiking (D went up Old Rag for the first time) and swimming and horseback riding:




This month included 11 days of instruction.
