Last week, Jeremy attended a 2-day "Shark Camp" at the Museum of Health and Medical Science where he was able to dissect a shark and travel to Galveston's Moody Gardens to learn more about marine life. He thought it was very interesting. For my 12yo son, the highlight of our summer is cutting up a fish and analyzing it! He said his friend got nauseous when they cut open the esophagus and found a partially digested fish. Jeremy just thought it was "cool"....thus the difference with a homeschooled child!

The museum is great and really caters to the homeschool community during the school year by offering numerous classes, many of which include dissections. I wish we would have been able to take advantage of more of the opportunities.

While Jeremy was at his camp, I took the 3 "little" kids to the Children's Museum and to the Museum of Health and Medical Science. The latter has free admission from 2-5pm on Thursdays---perfect!

Here are some pictures from our day:
