We took a fieldtrip with a couple other homeschool families to a local nursery. A great time was had by all.
The cactus statue seemed to catch the attention of several students.
Finishing up the week’s botany homework with more interesting plants than they can find around home. They were all so enamored with all the plants! They were trying to identify monocots and dicots and find a good flower for their dissecting exercise. I underestimated the exuberance! It was a nice surprise, but made keeping up difficult, with all five going in different directions calling out “Wow, LOOK MOM!” Very cute.
It was a pretty hot day – 87 or so, but everyone was in great spirits. Hot weather makes Mom happy too – must be those NE roots!
Rest stop.
Mikaela found a baby to play with and she was happy. Two boys were really enjoying the camera on the trip (unusual!) – “look at this - take another one, Mom, PLE-E-EASE”.
No idea why, but Mikah and Max just loved this buried duck. Maybe the heat was starting to get to them more than I realized! HA!
We left the nursery to a chorus of “Can we come back real soon, can we, can we!?” Hands on learning is so fun!
