Field Trips & a good day

I am getting excited about a field trip we have planned for Thursday. A town about an hour away has one of the neatest county fairs ever. LOTS to do and see. Since we are studying communities, we are counting this as a community event and making a notebook page when we return. We'll be checking everything out including a show on the "Amazing Rainforest", one on big cats with a lion and tiger, and one on alligators. Of course, there will also be the rides for the kids. I'll have to post some pics when we get back.

If you feel so inclined you can check out the fair website here:

Also this coming week on Wednesday, we go for the first time to the local library's homeschooling program. They have a special gathering once per month for homeschooled children. This week's topic is global warming. Should be interesting!

We had a great time today. I took the kids for a picnic and playtime in one of the parks. It was gorgeous out - mid 70s and low humidity. I think summer has finally left us - THANK GOODNESS! Then it was off to the grocery store and we bought the dvd "Barnyard" to watch when we got home. Kind of a cute movie - if I had the opportunity again I'd rent instead of buy, though. I don't think it will be one the kids want to pop in over and over. Tomorrow we invited grandma and grandpa over to watch "Nanny McPhee ". We'll be having the standard popcorn and M&Ms. Should be fun!

We went to our first Grange Fair this weekend. Nothing as big as your fair looks. Friends of ours were showing their horses. The children enjoyed it, but it was a bit hot and humid for me.
There's nothing like being on a noisy midway with a splitting headache. :os
I hope you have a good time and take lots of pictures!

Peace and Laughter,

My display name is "Katatonic". Why? Because my first name begins with "K", I like cats and the definition seems to fit me while preparing for a homeschool year. It will also most likely sum up this blog quite nicely. "cat·a·to·ni·a –noun A syndrome seen most frequently in schizophrenia, characterized by muscular rigidity and mental stupor, sometimes alternating with great excitement and confusion." Ah, yes. A perfect fit.
