Hang on for this one because it is a long one!
You might be at a homeschool function if you see a row of vans like these!We got together to do a Thanksgiving Celebration. There were 6 stations for the children. We had 15 families which totaled over 60 people for this activity. We broke all of the children into 6 different groups and rotated between each station. There was one mommy running each station and one mommy in each group to help the children.

These two daddies came to help out and participate with their wives and children. They were in charge of watching the little ones on the playground while we were learning and working at each station. Thanks dads!
