We've been on the go a lot this last week. I finally found a new homeschooling group called HIPPO that we can relate to. We attended our first outing last Thursday by visiting the World of Energy at Duke Power about 10 minutes from our house. (They want you to feel warm and fuzzy about nuclear energy.) We had a picnic and met lots of homeschoolers... lots of boys. We will fit right in.
I've come to the realization that my child has no interest in the Hooked on Phonics program that my neice devoured. So, we are taking a different route. We are using flash cards. He is so proud of himself that he can read them and looks forward to learning others. We will see how long it lasts.
This weekend we attended our parish weekend at Camp Kanuga. As always it was a lot of fun. Saturday afternoon we took B and a friend Geocaching... and found two caches. One of the two was a multi cache. What fun. Sunday after leaving Kanuga we found 4 or 5 more.
