Things have been a little free and easy here in our Rocky Mountain Homeschool. The gardening has taken a fair bit of work, but other than his voracious reading of one graphic novel after another, not a whole lotta academics is going on. Oops. Other than twice daily TutorVista sessions- for these periods when structured academics with mum hits the pooper.

However the _ _ it hits the fan this week- literally- as we have mounds of manure to mix into the soil to get the LAST of the garden in.

Also, our P.E. assignment of the spring was this past weekend’s Wasa Lake Triathlon. Beasley participated in the TriKids event on the Saturday. He finished it. After a good swim and then 8km on a piddly little one speed, he was pretty much sapped for the run. Tank. Empty.

An exercise in perserverence, one foot in front of the other, just keep swimming, and all that. He did it. It nearly killed the little bugger, but he did it. And he was smiling at the end.

And he is certain he wants to do it again next year. On a different bike.

Yup. Ditto for mum, little man!
