We are.....DONE!!!!!

Woohoo!!! We are done with school for the year! We have really enjoyed our "Adventure" through the 50 states and we have all learned so much....but it is really nice to be able to say that we're done! :) The last assignment that they had was to write a letter to President Bush. Some of the moms on our curriculum message boards said that every letter to the President gets a letter in return, so we'll let you know if we get one! They both listed some of the things we have learned about, and shared which state was their favorite....Kelsey-Virginia, home of Felicity, and Abby-Georgia....home of us! :) Some of our most memorable state facts have been the silly laws that are still on the books in some states. If you are ever in Kentucky....please remember that it is illegal to carry an ice cream cone in one's pocket....which unless you're my sister and you're trying to sneak a fudgesicle to a baseball game....that one really shouldn't be a problem. (Sorry Ali....I couldn't resist!) Also, if you are ever considering moving to Kentucky, you need to be aware that the law requires residents to bathe at least once a year. Can you imagine how stinky Kentucky must have been for them to take the time to make that into a law?!? Our favorite silly law state was probably Louisiana. It is against the law to rob a bank and then shoot at the bank teller with a water pistol. So, I guess as long as you're not carrying a water pistol...robbing a bank is not a problem?? Also, please be aware that in New Orleans, the law prohibits tying your pet alligator to a fire hydrant. So, feel free to walk through town with him on a leash....just stay away from the fire hydrants! :)

The girls worked on their United States notebooks all year, and they turned out great! They love looking through them to see all that we have accomplished this year.

Happy First Day of Summer Vacation!!!
