Moon Marble

This last Tuesday our homeschool group went and visited Moon Marble in Bonner Springs. It was so much fun and the kids really enjoyed themselves. The gentleman who was making the marbles spent so much time in explaining not only how to make the marbles and even gave them a small science lesson on how the color is made. It's by the chemistry of the glass and the temp of the heat that you use to melt the glass. Very interesting!!! The only complaint I would have is they need to work on the friendliness of the lady at the front check out. I just don't understand why some people have to be so rude. But the overall experience was great and we would and will go back and visit. The beauty of the marbles are amazing. Some of the larger marbles have a price tag of $265. I'm in the wrong business:)

Bowling League

This year I was looking for a more creative way to get PE into our routine, especially during the winter. Our local home school group, GAHN, brought to our attention a home school bowling league. Both boys were interested and we had a wonderful time. Last week finished up our 15 week league with both boys excited about continuing on with their bowling adventure. On the last week the bowling alley had a pizza party. They turned on the disco lights and had fun music playing. Not only did the kids have fun but the mom's did to!!!




This is how the alley looked with the disco lights on.

The trophies that the boys got. Andrew was for sportsmanship and Austin was for

most improved player.

Boys getting ready for Baseball

Life in the Medlin house is still very busy. The boys are getting ready to play baseball by working out with their Dad. This is the year that the boys are on the same team. Thankfully. Running them around in two different directions is no fun. Here are a few pics of the boys lifting weights.
