Field Trip!

Can I just tell you we LOVE homeschooling?? We love this time of year when kids get back to school and the world is our playground. We get museums and planetariums and historical sites all to ourselves. We love our homeschool group--SUCH an impressive group of families. The kids have a blast together and we learn tons at our own pace--we love it!

Our homeschool co-op meets at least once a week and we do classes together--this year we're doing Chemistry 2x/month, art and music history 1x/month, and a monthly field trip (among other things). This past week, we've enjoyed a lovely field trip to our GORGEOUS state capitol. It's one of the top 3 most visited capitols in the country. It is really magnificent--the pictures don't do it justice. And the kids ask such great questions!

We've enjoyed a great tour of the capitol (complete with pictures by our Senator's and Representative's photographers for souvenirs for us!), a scavenger hunt in the PA State Musuem (SO much fun!), a show at the planetarium (with another group of homeschoolers!), and a picnic lunch by the Susquehanna River. Very nice morning!!
