Oct. 2, 2006 - A Great Few days...
What a wonderful weekend we had with our family...Our family and Guy's sister's family and grandma. We started off by taking advantage of the Smithsonian sponsored free museum day. Of the many museums participating, we chose the Log Cabin Village in Fort Worth. What fun. It was so neat for the children to see what the world looked like and was like in the mid to late 1800's. There was a blacksmith, a candlemaker, a grist mill, an old one room schoolhouse and lots of little cabins that people lived in...plus a lot more. It was a great fit for our American History study.
We ate lunch at a fabulous little mom and pop Mexican restaurant. The food was great and I am sure we will be back there again.
Then we all hit the zoo. We broke down and all got season passes to the Fort Worth zoo. It's a wonderful zoo and I am sure we will get our monies worth. We spent quite a while with the monkeys. They were so funny.
We continued our newly created family Sunday lunch. This week we did a big curry meal...it's a Davidson family favorite and watched the Dallas Cowboys blow away the Tennesse Titans. Guy was a happy camper.
Today we started our week at the homeschoolers day at Mainstay Farm's pumpkin patch. We went last year and it's so much fun. Hay rides, pumpkins, mazes, huge tree house and playground. It was so funny to be roasting marshmellows in 90 degree weather, but it was good. We ate lunch at Cracker Barrel, then came home and still managed to get in an afternoon of schooling. We even had a great time talking at dinner tonight...it was clean out the fridge night.
We're off to a great start this week and hope that you are as well. Blessings,
