Yesterday we met a new homeschool group. We drove a little ways away but it was well worth the drive.  Also, the drive was pretty with all the trees turning colors and there was no traffic; it was great!

Meeting fellow homeschoolers involves a bit of apprehension for me.  But, this group relaxed me with the first two women I met.  I felt totally at ease and my  children jumped in with the others and took off playing.  That's always such a remarkable sight.  Socialization issues, my booty. 

Afterwards we took off for the tour of a local Fire Station.  And, what a tour it was.   It was hands-on, interactive, informational and the kids really learned a lot from the firemen/woman.  This was a perfect field trip for Fire Prevention and Safety Week!

How wonderful that you live where you can enjoy two different homeschool groups! I'm glad you and your kids enjoyed yourselves. Meeting new homeschool moms can be uncomfortable, I know. I think because we are all so unique in our schooling, raising our kids, our faith or nonfaith. It's hard to group us, sometimes! If we wanted to be cookie-cutter (read that, fit in with everyone else) we probably wouldn't be homeschooling! Does that make sense? Anyway, I'm glad you had a good day. By the way, how are you feeling? My oldest sister was a New Year's baby. 24 minutes after midnight, I think. Have a good weekend!
