It was sunday afternoon and i began our word of the day at the lunch table. we were talking about "pilgrimage" and what it meant and if we could go on one. before you know it, the kids had planned a "pilgrimage" on our bikes once again to the covered bridge at pioneer park. but not just an ordinary pilgrimage...no...they wanted a fruit picnic on a blanket and to read our book about Abraham Lincoln!! my wonderful kids thought up a whole day of learning all on thier own! that was one extra day of school we got done impromptu on a sunday: PE (biking), many agricultural lessons along the way, we learned about science (poison ivy luckily from afar), and many chapters of the lincoln book to which i was even blessed to learn a few facts. we left happier, healthier, smarter and ready for our waffles and fruit dinner at home!
this picture has nothing to do with the covered bridge except we were there. i just love that they are giving each other the same expression...cute pic!
Daddy and Elias enjoying the view of watching the kids explore!
the funny part was that we were at the park 5 days before where i saw a sign that read "video survelience at all times for your safety". well, my kids had to go potty. so here i was in the middle of a historic park with nothing but nature around holdin' my kids in the grass trying to get them to pee in the most clean, private way possible. well, when we returned to the park this time 5 days later, the first thing we now saw was ...PORTA POTTIES!!!
guess there really was a vidoe!
