It is a favorite fall tradition to go apple picking. We had a fun day picking apples and the kids had fun running through the maze too. Then there was applesauce, apple pie, apple crisp and apple and sage pork dinner. Fall is beautiful in New England. And watching the boys climb trees was a lot of fun after so much traffic to enjoy a perfect fall day.

Aidan’s Minecraft Class
Last spring while Aidan was at a 4th Church class, Katie asked him what classes he would like to see in the new school year. He shared all the computer classes he has enjoyed and especially was looking forward to over the summer- namely- Minecraft. Katie asked if he would consider teaching a class and Aidan enthusiastically jumped at the opportunity.
Aidan will be teaching a 10 week Minecraft class. He has planned an syllabus and has themes and goals each week. Â He worked with Chris to set up the computers and talked through what he wants to do and how he wants the class to culminate.
After the first week he realized the one thing he hadn’t thought about- managing a class of excited students! But that’s what having an adult there is for! And he is getting the hang of it (and has a new respect for his own teachers).
It’s a pretty great experience for him and a way for him to earn some spending money- so proud of him!
New School Year!
Here we go…6th grade and 4th grade. Time is certainly flying.
For Aidan it’s a big year- lockers, changing classes, schedules, ISEE prep and exam. I can’t believe we are here already.
For Brendan it’s a year with new teachers, new friends (lots of friends in other classes), tougher work and more big kid stuff. Â (note the metallic high top Converse sneakers)
