Meditation Point Chapel

On our way back from Livingston, Tilly was crying, so we had to stop in Emigrant for my Mom to feed her.   Emigrant is a little town halfway between Livingston and Gardiner.  We stopped right by a gas station, where there is a little chapel, called Meditation Point. They don't have church services in it anymore, probably because there are only 6 chairs inside. Plus, it's freezing cold! ;) Bennett, Preston, Fiona and I went inside and played, while Mom fed Tilly.







There have been a lot of buffalo in our yard too. They like to dig with their heads to get to the grass. When it snows, their backs are covered with a white blanket!



I was even brave enough to stand outside our door,  when the buffalo was about 50 feet away!



They like to eat all the hay from the horses' corral too! The horses try to guard their territory by chasing them away, even when they are in the corral!


Everyday, (except Saturday and Sunday) we ALL go downstairs to do our home school. When we do History, I am the board writer and Dad is the reader. We all listen!






Part of our home school is Chemistry. Bennett and Dad like to see things that react! Preston likes to help too.......;)



A couple of our experiments were:  making crystals, creating rust and seeing baking soda and vinegar react!




Later that afternoon, we went to Chico Hot Springs pool with some of our friends. They came to our house for dinner afterward. We thought it was weird that we didn't hear Fiona, so we looked over and she was sleeping right by her soup!!!! She must have been worn out from all that swimming!



This is what Matilda does when we are doing homeschool:

  1. What amazing photos! Sure looks like you've had a lot of snow this winter. We're very impressed by the Roberts' homeschool program and wish we could sign up for your Chemistry classes! Fiona snoozing at the table and baby Matilda in the basket are precious photos! Thanks for the Chronicles of Emma, Emma!
