Weekly Wrap Up - Big Adventures

We are in our last two weeks of homeschooling.  I'm basically just waiting for Lindsey to turn in her final report and we're done.  Graduation is scheduled for June 3!

Lindsey finished physical therapy on her knee last week and we had the follow up with the orthopedic nurse practitioner, who has now finally decided that we do need an MRI. She said to "be thinking about which surgeon you prefer" so I'm guessing she's finally come to the conclusion that there is a problem.  It's ridiculous that insurance won't cover imaging until after 6 weeks of therapy, which has actually made the knee worse.  The MRI is scheduled for May 30.

Lindsey and a couple of coworkers decided to have a 19th century picnic in our local park this week.  They wanted to enjoy their finer clothing, and mess with random park goers as well.  So many people asked them why they were doing it, and they responded "Just to have fun", and people still kept saying "but why"?

They ate, walked around the park, played a few time appropriate lawn games and then decided to dance the Virginia Reel.  A group of teens saw them dancing and came and asked if they couild show them how to do that.  They danced for over an hour with this random group of young people.

Olivia is currently in London!  It's been a great learning experience for her, learning how to navigate international airports, subways and the city itself.  She's been to Westminster Abbey, Buckinham Palace, Queen Victoria Monument,  London Eye, Big Ben, House of Parliament, The Tower of London, Tower Bridge, The National Gallery, The British Museum, Churchill's War Room Museum, Trafalgar Square and a plethora of other places.  She also saw the changing of the guard at Buckingham, and just happened to be in the right place at the right time to see the United National Annual Peacekeepers Memorial Parade.  She has taken literally THOUSANDS of photos on her camera, but here are a couple snippets from her phone thus far.

Have a great Memorial Day Weekend!
