didn't look like most of our weeks will, hopefully. We had one "formal" day of school, complete with workboxes. Then an errand & travel day, followed by a few field trip filled days.
We managed to take in:
Tucson Children's Museum - the kids enjoyed, but not as much as the Baltimore Children's Museum last fall.
International Wildlife Museum - I liked this one. Over 450 stuffed animals, some pictured in their habitats. Very informative, plenty of hands-on, and reasonably priced.
T-Rex Museum - K liked this one. It was a bit hokey and too evolutionistic for my tastes, but we met another homeschool family while on the tour and had a nice conversation about what our follow-up conversations with the kids would be about evolution vs. creation.
Reid Park Zoo - A small zoo in Tucson, but very well kept. Their animals seemed much cleaner than the ones at our local zoo.
Tombstone - There was a special Rendezvous with the Gunfighters weekend going on. Unfortunately, we were pressed for time and didn't get to take in all the activities. We were able to see a short funny gunfighting skit with a couple of bumbling bad guys and an over the hill sheriff. The kids enjoyed that. I hope we can go back sometime and stay longer.
Extended P.E. - Hours spent in the hotel swimming pool
Social skills - Met up with friends of my dh's and a friend of mine from high school. Kids got to play with other new children, and spend time patiently waiting for the adults to finish up our catching up.
Life Skills - I think anytime we travel we develop additional lifeskills - from ordering meals at restaurants, to navigating the maps of the various museums we went to, to budgeting the limited money they brought along for souvenirs.
We'll take tomorrow off to regroup, catch up on laundry and plan the week. Then back at it on Tuesday.
Hope your week was one filled with learning and loving!
