Field Trip Day 2016

"We're finally doing what my friends think all homeschoolers do - Only go on field trips." Like a lot of the general public, many of Lydia's friends who attend traditional private Christian school have the idea that all homeschoolers just go on field trips, never do any real work, and do school in their pajamas. Well, they do actually wear their pajamas all day, if they don't have to leave the house.

Our history, literature, and Bible curriculum focused on early civilizations this year so we went to the Michael C. Carlos Museum at Emory University. It's a great museum for kids. The staff is comfortable with children talking out loud and seem eager to tell them about the exhibits. And it was fun to go with friends who knew more about the exhibits than we do and were actually excited about them too.

It's sand!

The High Museum was great on a Tuesday afternoon. There was almost no one there and it was perfect for my talkative four year old. I could've spent hours there but I was also there with my four year old.

Lydia was surprised by how much she enjoyed the museum too.

Mary loved the urban art.

The Eric Carle exhibit was perfect Abigail

We became part of the art.
