Kimber Academy

The quadruplets attended a private school this year.  It's called the Kimber Academy and it teaches core classes only.  Classes are only held 3 days a week, 4 hours a day leaving the rest of their education to be done at home.  Much of what they teach involves getting the students to determine their own interests and self direct their learning. (Wouldn't it be great if that were an option in the public system?)  It was a great help in giving us a blueprint for our homeschooling.  Not sure if we can afford it next year, but the kids want to return if we can.

For the first time in years, the quadruplets got school pictures!

I thought I'd share a few photos from their fun times at the Academy!

The girls really got into it!  My boys, not so much...



The final day of school, we all went and climbed Ensign Peak



Ready, Set, Go!

The entire school!

After our beautiful hike, it was off to City Creek Park for a little picnic!



Notice who Amanda is hanging out with?  Yep, they are inseparable!



A little garden snake was the life of the party!

Tons of fun by the creek.

We met a lot of really wonderful new friends this year, friends who the quads definitely want invited to their birthday party!  But that will be another day, another blog post...
