New year, more fun
| We have started a new year after our "endless summer". We finished "school" at the end of May when Miami schools got out (so the kids could play with their "schooled" friends) and started back up on Sept. 10th when the private schools in Boston began (my sons' bestfriend, who flew down from Boston, stayed with us for a week in early Sept. and we just couldn't interfere with all the fun by starting school!) We enjoyed trips to North Carolina where the kids and I were at Eagle's Nest Camp www.enf.org. Then a month on Whidbey Island, Washington with family and a road trip with my mom, the three kids and her 2 dogs to California, where we spent a week with my husband in Stinson Beach. My mom and I stopped in Ashland, Oregon where we took the kids to see Romeo and Juliette (www.osfashland.org/index.aspx.) Its was an extraordinary experience. This year we are actively involved in THREE fun learning groups; my park group through PATH (www.pathhomeschool.org), The Learning Club, where the kids enjoy a book club and other activities, and The Examined Life (www.theexaminedlife.org), where the kids participate in a history/acting/filmaking/art history/music participation playdate. In between those full days we squeeze in art lessons, music lessons, brownies, ballet, voice lessons, golf and tennis. And of course lots of reading. So I would say that our "school", as I had expected, has evolved. |
