Museum Field Trip

Today we went to a museum that has Fossils, Gems, Minerals, Dinosaurs, Vintage Cars and Hands-On exhibits for the kids. We had a wonderful time. Kit had fun being with friends. She is very social and loves experiencing the exhibits with others. Mr. Wheels is very inquisitive and enjoyed everything. He was especially interested in the cars, train, and the helicopter. Kit was able to pan for gems with friends while Mr. Wheels looked at the cars and such. I didn't want Mr. Wheels to get all wet. We will go back some other time when he is a bit older. They both searched for dinosaur bones. Mr. Wheels was very timid about using the brushes to remove the sand. Kit found some very cool sharks teeth that she took home. The museum has a large collection of rocks Mr. Wheels liked the large amethyst, because he got to touch it. We were very hungry after looking around for a while and the group all met together at the pavilion for the lunches we had packed. Outside the museum there are various trucks that Mr. Wheels enjoyed looking at. We all gathered in front for a group picture. Many of the group members left after lunch, but we went back in and explored as a family. Before lunch I let Kit explore with her friends, while I was with Mr. Wheels. We looked around in the gift shop. Mr. Wheels fell in love with the hard hat with the light on the front. We went into the children hands on area and spend most of our time in the light exhibit. 


I am very thankful for the home school group that has organized this year. I enjoy the outings we go on together. I want my daughters home school experience to be more than educational. I want her to look back on her time with me in school with fond memories. Even though I have teach her at home her school is done in many more places than at home! I feel privileged to be able to spend the time with my kids with other people that have the same goals in mind.
