Homeschooling in Illinois

Mar. 28, 2006

Day #5

In the morning, me and Abiga51 took the kids out to play in the snow.  They had a blast!  Especially Princess C.  This was the first time she was out in the snow.  She didn't do much but walk around, but she would not stop walking around!  She sure wore me out! 

 

The snow was so sparkly and bright white.  The boys searched for deer scat.  They found it... it looks like coffee beans... hmm..... 

 

We finally ventured out and about on day #5 of vacation.  We went to a Ghost Town, "frozen in time, and preserved indoors".  There was a piano that played all by itself, and my 4 yo was SO EXCITED!  Can you tell? 

 

They had alot of old time things.... buggies, newspapers, irons, washing machines.....

 

 

We enjoyed it.  After that, we wanted to go see Seven Falls.  It was supposed to be spectacular.  When we got to the entrance, the lady told us that most of the falls were frozen, it was a short walk to see them, and it was about 15 degrees colder there.  We didn't want to take the babies out in the freezing cold, so we decided not to go, but the lady was really nice and told us about a different set of falls nearby that were free, and you could pull right up to them in your car.  So we went there.  They were mostly frozen too, but that was neat to see.  Not too many people can say that they have seen frozen waterfalls.

About Me

Oh, the crazy things that happen in my house.... I am the wife of M for 8 years now. I am the mother of a 10 yo boy - D, 6 1/2 yo boy - N, 4 yo girl - Princess C, 2 1/2 yo boy -Toddler B, and girl Lil' L born May 18. I've been homeschooling since 2003. I lean towards a Charlotte Mason approach, but more often than not, it's "whatever works".
