A Sweet Adventure

   Homeschooling has its benefits. I have to tell myself that often. The weather here has turned grey and rainy and so homeschooling is more of a challenge in a small house but when the weather is sunny we stumble out into the bright and hope for adventure and happiness. More often than not we find just that.

  I have two children who have a very hard time falling asleep. Maybe if they had total darkness and quiet it would be not such a challenge but in our house that is not to be found. So when we go for late morning or early afternoon drive sometimes this little guy catches a nap. When that happens I send the children out on a adventure together within shouting distance while I let him sleep. Please not his Noculars (Binoculars) he takes them on all our nature walks and uses them as a pretend camera. I love this!

I also go and take random pictures while he sleeps. Here are the middles off on an adventure together.

                                         Here is my view from the van's front seat.

 
                                                    My six year old took this picture.

                                      I hear shouts and run to see what has happened.

He is filled with wonder for this little snake who gently winds itself around his fingers and peers at him with shiny eyes. Then he gently lets him go where he was first found.

She wishes she was a boy so she would like snakes more. I explain many girls like snakes just as much as boys.

They each want a turn at the camera so I show them how to take a picture. This is my son's.

                                             We are thankful for this day.
