Not All Bees Make Honey.

The kids and I made some pretty tasty homemade granola bars today.  Main ingredient was honey.  Why?  Because we are doing a science lesson on bees, and in particular honeybees.  There seem to be a lot of beekeepers in the area...so I contacted one.  In a few weeks we are going to his apiary (bee farm) to meet the bees, and watch a beekeeper in action!  So exciting!  Should make for some great pictures too.  He said we will have to wear full bee gear!
     I also took a few pictures of the kids sculpting with the clay/mud from the backyard.  Messy=fun!

Fiona's watercolor lesson.  A girl with bat-wings from a story she is working on.

Ethan's watercolor lesson.  He had fun with the sunset!

Mud manipulators.

Adding the ground flax meal to the granola bars.  Mmmm...

In go the dark chocolate chips!
