| August found us smack dab in the middle of the United State. We studied Kansas. |
 |
| We made sunflowers (Kansas' State Flower) out of paper plates. |
 |
| The kids drew veins on the leaves and I lined their lines with hot glue and then they painted them. |
 |
| We read a book about tornadoes and had a tornado drill. |

| And we ate smoked shredded pork with baked beans and cole slaw. I made the beans and slaw. We got the pork from a take out place. I did a little research and it turned out one of the most highly rated smoked BBQ places around is less than a mile from our house. It was yummy! |
 |
| For dessert we had frozen custard. The recipe I used said it made 12 servings. I knew my ice cream freezer wouldn't hold that much, so I halved it...and that would have been perfect except when I took the lid off the chilled mix, my hand slipped and I poured half of it right in the sink. I should be thankful I was opening it over the sink and not the oven, but I'm still pretty bummed that I wasted half of this yummy stuff. |
