We have been blessed enough to find an amazing group of homeschoolers to provide support during our homeschool journey. We generally meet up a few times throughout the month and have fieldtrips, playdates, and pretty much anthing educational that will help the children expand their minds. This past week we had yet another wonderful meeting in which we had a scavenger hunt planned for the kids. The current leader of the group planned out the activity for us and we had lists of the items that we should be looking for along the way (bugs, leafs, moss, etc.) We met up at the local park area and started walking along the trail looking for the items on the list. The day turned out to be much hotter than we thought it would but the kids were of course full of energy and ready to go find "little critters." My little girl was big on pointing out different rocks that had broken open and examining the inside and what they looked like. My son on the other hand was just as happy as he could be walking and hanging out with the older kids and of course checking out the bugs when the time came. We spent about 2 hrs looking at different things and learning about nature. It was a great day but very hot so by the time we were done I felt the kids had been good enough to enjoy a nice cold treat at the local Dairy Queen, which might I add was a big mistake with a very sleepy little boy. We came home and took a nice little nap and woke up refreshed and ready to do school work. All in all it was a great day and the kids for the most part had a blast and was full of questions about what they had seen on the trail.
