Hey Dad's. I know today is Father's Day and you are supposed to be getting the gifts. Today, however, I've been thinking somewhat about my Compassion kids. So many Compassion International children either don't have fathers, or don't have spiritual father's that can really make a difference in their lives. Why don't you give a gift to them on this Father's Day. Be the "Daddy" that they don't have.

I know what you always hear on T.V. ~ "For just a little over a dollar a day..." or "For less than the price of a cup of gourmet coffee...". Those statements are true, but I'm not Sally Struthers (does she still do that?) or any other celebrity. I'm just a plain old dad, whose family has chosen to sponsor kids through Compassion International. But this plain old dad can tell you from experience that Compassion International works. Your money will not be wasted.

Won't you consider being a "Dad" to a child who doesn't have one (or at least have a spiritual one). If you do, I can guarantee it will a Father's Day that you will never forget!

I really like www.slide.com, but they don't have any Christian music to go with their slideshows.They list one Christian song, but it is certainly not Christian.So I opted not to have any music with this one.

Oh well, these are pictures from our last day of day camp. Water Day! Hope you enjoy them. Thanks for all of your prayers and support. We had a great week.

Next week is a garden and clean the house week, then the week after that is another Day Camp! I'll keep you posted.

No, I'm not trippin on some drug from the 60's , I'm going on a field trip. A meme field trip. Okay, I know it says a Blog Carnivals in the topic, but Meme's and Carnival's are very similar. Maybe I should change my topic to say Blog Carnivals and Memes.

Anyway, this meme is a field trip meme. It is a great meme to go to if you're looking for a cool place to take your kids on a field trip or just to live vicariously through someone else's adventure and learn about a new and different place. Now, I know that the field trip that I mentioned really isn't a learning field trip, but it was adventerous. Click on the button at the top of the page to find out what my adventure was and to see all of the great fun that some of the others went on. Have fun!

After all, I don't bar hop, so I have to meet new people somehow .

Just kidding!

Actually, I had no idea what blog hopping was until a few months ago. Even, then, I didn't really get into it. Just this past week, however, one of the new TOS Homeschool Crew members suggested doing a "Blog Hop" to get to know all of the other crew member's blogs. 

You all know that I am an FM (First Mate) this year on the homeschool crew. That means that I have 5 new crew members that I am kind of mentoring and helping along ~ at least at the beginning until they get their feet wet. Well, the new crew members just began about a week ago and they are a lively bunch. Not only do they like to talk, but there are twice as many folks on the homeschool crew since last year! So, we have twice as much chatter. But, that also means twice as many good ideas. 

One of the great ideas that was recommended was to do the Blog Hop. Then, someone suggested publishing the weekly list on our blogs in order for our readers to get to know all of the great homeschool blogs that the folks on this years crew write. I thought it was a great idea and so decided to participate. 

I'm a little behind the times, the first list was put out a few days ago, but it really doesn't matter when it is published as long as it is done every week. I'll try to do it around the end of the week every week, though it may not be on Thursday's. Thursday's are generally set aside for my weekly "Thursday's Child" post about Compassion International. If you follow my blog at all, you will know that I am notorious for not posting things on the days that they are supposed to be posted on, and, true to form, I've already posted my Thursday's Child post for the week so I decided to post my TOS Homeschool Crew Blog Hop today!

So, without further adieu, here are this week's great blogs -

1.  Reaping a Harvest
2.  Pink & Orange Coffee
3.  Live, Laugh, Learn!
4.  Mrs. Mandy's Musings
5.  The Fantastic Five
6.  Refined Metals Academy
7.  Just A Moment in Time
8.  Providence Farm
9.  My Journey
10. Petra School

Oh, by the way, the picture above is from our faithful games person Brandon Colson. I've known Brandon since he was around 5 or 6 years old going to Cedar Lake Camp. Now he's in his early 20's. Thanks Brandon, for all that you do! We love you.
