NRH2O May 23, 2007

With the heat coming, our homeschool group has moved its weekly get togethers to NRH2O- a water park about 15 minutes from our house. We tried it out to see if it would be enjoyable enough for us to participate in these weekly get togethers. Was it ever!!! Thank you Cheryl, Johnathan, and Jacob for the passes so that we could check it out. The kids had an absolute ball (so did I) despite the chilly day/water. Elijah kept asking if we could stay there until nighttime. Pictures of water fun are limited as I had to partake and the camera is not fond of water…

Considering Our Impact May 23, 2007

We came to the park to feed the ducks but walked away with a lesson about our impact on the environment. While feeding the ducks, Sadie noticed about 30-40 ‘giant bugs’ (crayfish) floating in the water. Did they die because of all of the litter that was floating on the shore that day as well? That is the assumption we evaluated. Both Sadie and Elijah are very aware of litter and frequently ask if they can pick it up and dispose of it properly. What is the answer when your child asks you why people throw garbage on the ground?
