Architecture Lessons

We love our Architecture lessons!  Here are the two books that we read from... 13 Buildings Children Should Know by Annette Roeder The Art of Construction: Projects and Principles for Beginning Engineers and Architects by Mario Salvadori

We actually got THREE books, here is this fun picture book with fantastic illustrations

Iggy Peck, Architect by Andrea Beaty and David Roberts

In one of our lessons we had to build a model of a tent.  We then went outside to try to build a real tent.  The girls first tried rocks to hold down the ropes, when that didn't work we had to cheat and use real tent stakes.  Once they were finished it was more of a one person meditation tent.

Luke built a "lean to".

Hazel's model.

Afternoon with the Bradley's

We got to watch some farrier skills.

Everyone got to ride Indio.

A little guy we found.  (There were tears when we had to let him go free.)

Grandma and Grandpa, Ben's Bells and Franks

We visited Ben's Bells with my parents and helped make some "kindness coins".

Eating at Frank's.

We also visited Kartchner's Caverns and Tombstone with my parents.  I love this nice picture of my parents outside of the Tombstone Courthouse with all four of the kids photobombing it.
