Cow pasture ballet
| We have spent a lot of time in a vehicle over the last few days. We just had deliveries and errands that took up our time. So school has consisted of Spanish lessons, reading aloud ( by the kids --not the driver!), time tables, and spelling bees. I am continually amazed at how quickly my middle son, Seth, picks up Spanish. My kids have been quite surprised by just how much Spanich their old Mom knows, too. Today, our road trip took us towards Wichita on Hwy 400. Since the last time we went that way, someone has erected several "wind farms". I had heard that there had been some controversy about this kind of power generation. So, on our way home, we had a kind of impromptu field trip. I turned down a road and just kept going until we found ourselves right in the middle of about 200 windmills. I stopped the truck and turned it off. We rolled down the windows to see if there was any noise. All we could hear was ---- THE WIND!!! They were so tall and rather alien looking. Seth just kept saying how really cool this was...... I think that I can see a science project in the making! Cows were grazing all around them. It was a little scarey for Adam ( 5) but as we were leaving, he said, " They look like ballet dancers." This is why I love homeschooling. Tana Mc |
