Recreating Stonhedge or at least playing with rocks!

 Our adventure started out with keys locked in the house. The boys were happy to break in and get them.
 Sarah liked playing with the rocks. She was quite irritated when she picked up.
 The lake level is extremely low!!!!
 Liliana made her rock creation. She is so hungry!
 Throwing rocks in the water was much more fun. (Caleb) He built a small wall.
 Qorban's Stonhedge! At least in miniture, the real stonhedge is much bigger!
                                        Christopher climbs the rocks!

                                                 Caleb
                                                    Liliana and Sarah

Science museum

                                    This big tree house with 4 story slide was one of Christopher's favorite things there. The other thing he really liked was the full size John Deer tractor and the flight simulators that he could 'drive'.  He also loved the video game about teeth brushing and the tornado simulator.
 Caleb loved to watch the toy trains and spent quite a while here.
 The kids also loved the construction room where they built cars from legos and got to race them derby style.
 
 Inside the tornado simulater, Sarah was not sure about those winds!

                                       Christopher loved this 'claw game' where he got to play with the robotic space arm.


 Christopher at the bottom of the slide, he just kept going and going!
                                          Liliana liked this spin thing quite a bit.
Sarah did not like being put in the baby section and kept crawling out to find out what her brothers and sisters were so excited about.

Derby races

                                            Caleb places 1st in the Wolves.


                                             Qorban places 4th in Weblos 1.
 

This was our first time making derby cars and since everyone was so serious about the race I didn't expect the boys to place especially since Caleb's wheel was broken off on the morning before the race but the boys did place and earn spots in the district competition in a few weeks.
As a side note, a converstation with my husband and oldest son while we were watching the races: I was explaining that the groups were divided by grade level and so then we had to discuss that Qorban is actually in the 4th grade. Both had thought that Qorban was in the 3rd grade.

Questions

Do I believe that God is always with me? That I am never alone? Do I live like I believe that?
Do I think that my anger can accomplish more than God's love?
