One (of the many) things I LOVE about homeschooling is field trips. We went to the Sugar Grove in Central IL. a couple of weeks ago for the Maple Syrup Tapping field trip and it was amazing. We went with a bunch of our friends from the Classical Conversations family we are a part of. The kids LOVED it ...despite the cold and wet....did I mention cold???
One of the most amazing parts for me though is seeing that the kids remember, truly remember parts of what they heard. Bobo came up to me last week saying he found a tree that was cut down that was 18 years old. I asked him how he knew and he said, I counted the rings to the heart of the tree. SO, I went out to check and sure enough he was right.
I just feel blessed!
The 3 oldest ones left the field trip happy, filled with joy after seeing friends and sticky from syrup.
doesn't this just look so inviting! If it had been warm - I would have sat there forever!
