Homeschooling is in full swing!

It has been a very busy last few weeks. Way more than I can blog about. We started homeschooling 3 weeks ago, and we are loving it! The new curriculum is so fun, and I am loving it as much as Evie! The picture to the left is of Evie and the ships she made. They were the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria, and she put them in our pond. One side was Spain, and the other was America, and she had to use only wind power to get the boats from Spain to America. It was pretty fun :).

We went on a recent homeschool field trip that was really fun. A family that lives in the area has a huge farm with all kinds of exotic animals. They have fallow deer, turkeys, an ibex goat, a baby zebra, antelope, and a bunch of other animals. We got to feed a lot of them, which was great fun for the kids. There was a huge turnout, with probably 30 kids or so plus adults.




Here is Evie feeding some of the animals...



Waiting to see the baby zebra..


Here he is. Isn't he sweet??


Lots and lots of antelope. It was a fun time. I will have to update on what else has been going on with our lives later. Too much to write in one blog post!

The zebra is cuute. What a great outing! I tell ya, just two weeks ago we were kicking around the idea of trying public school, but after the comments we got about our son when we were in Wyoming - we've definitely decided to stay with hsing. It has its ups and downs, but man, when it works it really works.

SM--Yes, she is really enjoying it this year! So am I :).

Lil--What kind of comments did you get in Wyoming? Good or bad ones?
