Field Trips

Had a fun day yesterday at a "Gym & Swim" at the Y. Getting out of the house is mighty important during the homeschool year. Especially for the eldest, who doesn't ever want to leave the house but then is glad he did after we go somewhere. Just this spring we've already been to a Grocery Store, a Donut Shop, a Greenhouse, a Symphony, and an Equestrian Center. Over the winter I believe we attended some museums such as Health Works, and last fall we went to the College Football Hall of Fame, we saw Cats at the Round Barn Theatre, went to the Survive Alive house, and Alex went to the Nutcracker at the Morris.

Last year was SB Choc Factory, the Airport, and others. I can't remember them now, which is why i'm trying to chronicle some stuff at this point!

My son would usually balk at the idea, and i would tell him that he went to public school for a few years and got to experience field trips; his sister did not. So we were doing this for her! And he would go along. He almost always said he was happy we went after it was over. This was one of those issues where I hate to force the kids into stuff, but really sometimes ya got to.

more on that later.

Testing 4, 5, 6.

I can't believe I set this up and never used it. I have an issue with worrying what people think about me, which makes me freeze up every time I think of publishing my writing (yes, even a blog). But I've really wanted to chronicle my homeschooling, so let's see if this works this year!
