School Days


Sabrina is in Mrs Proctor's first grade class.  She was excited to have a nice teacher and learn.  School is a bit different this year, in her words "We have to wear a mask and stay far away from people"


With Covid-19 changes, Hyrum moved classes this year to Mrs. Schemerhorn.  He is part of the Wondrous Weirdos 2.0. (The class named themselves).  He is excited to be with other kids.


 August 20, 2020 the 4 youngest had well-child appointments and dentist appointments.  It was a hectic day.  They are all growing well and are healthy.  Here are the kids stats.

Eric: 5 foot 3.5 inches (yes, he is taller than me.)

Wendy: 4 foot 3.5 inches 

Hyrum: 4 foot 3.75 inches (yes, he is taller than Wendy)

Sabrina: 3 foot 9 inches

Schwieder Reunion: The Knights of Flamm

Reunions are always fun!!  Schwieder Reunion 2020 was no different, if fact it may have been a bit more fun because of the lack of other activities this summer.  Quarantine!  Everyone's families were able to come and cousing were able to play.  It was very enjoyable.


The teepee that cousins and I made.  I enjoyed being the big person on the job.


Big Springs is a big spring that comes right out of the mountain.  This pictures show how clear and clean the water is.  There was a nice short hike to a historic homestead located right at the spring.


Each family was assigned a cutlure/race- Mom and Dad were oracles, Kyle was the tyrant with his minions, we were the Knights of Flamm, Brett's family were dwarves, Tammie's family were wizards, Shanalee's family were elves, and Todd was the dragon master.  Todd prepared a Dungeons and Dragons type adventure for us to go on.  We had a glorious time.  






 

Floating Warm River and Camp

We spent the afternoon floating warm river.  It isn't that warm, but it was a warm day so we had a great time.  Grandma and Grandpa watched us and all our stuff.  



Below are some nature pictures from our camp (not flowers they have their own post)
