Wednesday: The kids worked on ABC Mouse which is an children's online learning site that I won a FREE 1 yr subscription to.

Thursday: We had an awesome field trip with a group of about 30+ other homeschoolers at Amicalola Falls State Park. The kids got to do three classes on: Snakes, Rocks and Life Cycles. We learned a lot of really cool facts and even got to pet real live snakes. Did you know there are 6 species of Venomous Snakes in GA?

Check out rock samples.

Great Horned Owl. Did you know all birds of prey are protected in GA?

The kids really enjoyed petting the snakes and so did I.
I hope we can get a pet snake again someday.

Raising hand and answering questions.

A kid even spotted a snake in the wild during our class it was a Worm Snake.

Friday: We took the day off so we could go to a friends house and sell some stuff at her garage sale. The kids had a great time though playing with their friends.

Thanks for stopping by!
