Today we attended a field trip at one of the local public parks.  There we were taught some things about survival.  It was really cool.  They taught the kids things like how to stay warm in the woods if you get lost (stuff your clothes with leaves and such and don't lie directly on the ground), how to help rescuers find you (carry a bright orange trash bag or always wear some bright colors), how to pack a survival kit, and more.  The actually took a hike. 

Of course, I can't tell you everything that they learned because I was networking!  Yes!  I got to talk to other homeschool moms!  Josh liked being with his friends. Stephen loved all the new things he learned. And AJ liked playing on the playground with his little friends.  The other thing I liked was that while they went on the hike, I got to tale a long quiet walk.  It gave me time to read and pray without interruption. 

What's more, this is only part of a series of survival classes they are offering.  We can't wait to go to the next one!
