WELCOME!

WELCOME! I used this blog to share our family's homeschooling thoughts and experiences. Our oldest child, EL, finished her formal education in May 2017, and we graduated our son, JJ, from High School in May 2021. I will leave this blog up for anyone who wishes to read our curriculum reviews or see what types of field trips and/or activities we participated in.

SEPTEMBER 2017 FIELD TRIP: Lost Creek Orchards

On Wednesday this past week, we took our first Fall field trip (not including the total eclipse trip we took on our first day of school). We went to Lost Creek Orchards for the 5th year in a row (and our 6th time in total). By now, we know this orchard really well, and it is actually more of a tradition for us than a learning experience. We enjoy the familiarity of this trip, the laid back tour, and also the social time with others in the group.  So, even though JJ is in High School now, we will continue going on these trips as long as we are able, and as long as he still has an interest in going.
