I thought we’d show off some of the fun things we did for homeschooling that weren’t necessarily at home when it was warm. These things were done throughout the fall semester. We really have a great time when we get to take school outside!
We took a nature hike at a nearby mountain biking trail and gathered lots of God’s Creation to study. It reminded Matt and me so much of our childhood backyard woods it was great! For the record, I do not know how people stay on those trails, they were right on the edge of the hillside and as you will see, the hills were steep!
The foilage was just so dense, we had lots of things to collect!
This would make a mean game of hide and go seek!
There was a great river/creek and the water was much cleaner than Joplin Creek behind my house which consisted of sewer runoff from broken clay pipes. We will swim in the summer!
They really wanted to get in…
spreading seeds was a favorite…
This place was absolutely gorgeous! None of this happened by chance! Just imagining that this is what our whole country looked like just 200+ years ago. God has provided us with everything we have always needed
And then came the competition of manhood. Daddy was king of the mountain, but only for a little bit…we all had to prove ourselves.
I had to bite my lip and let them go…
What a great place… and we learned and collected many things. Ryan’s favorite was climbing up the mountain. Daddy’s favorite was skipping stones. Andrew’s favorite was standing on the big rock beside the water with Ryan and Daddy. My favorite was seeing Matt with the boys doing boy stuff and me getting to take part since I was a tomboy when I was little! It is just so amazing to see all of the living things big and small that are right under our noses that we fail to notice in our daily activities. What’s even more amazing is that God knows and cares for every single one!
Oh yeah, and we did do some teaching….

was this at Kennesaw Mtn? looks like a fun day of learning!
actually is was just down the road at rope mill park where the mountain bike trails are! We had fun, we found LOTS of animal tracks and strangely enough were able to look through some bear/? poop to see all the berries and stuff they eat! It was really neat!
