We spent part of the day today at the homeschool park day in our area. This is every Wednesday from May through September or later. Cook Park in Tigard fills up with homeschooling families. This is the first year we have tried it out and we enjoyed ourselves. I am hoping that we will continue to go fairly regularly to continue to connect with other homeschooling families. We had fun today playing with and talking to two other families we have become friends with.
Samuel has been trying out selling some of his toys on e-bay. He hopes to save up all of the money he makes to buy a most coveted Lego Star Wars Cloud City set. In fact yesterday he bid on one set for the first time and is very excited, wanting to check his status every hour or so to make sure no one has outbid him!
The kids have been learning quite a bit about dinosaurs lately. In our new edition of Zoo Tycoon you can choose different dinosaur species to put in the zoo. They have also been using the Walking With Dinosaurs software which shows videos and pictures and gives lots of information about what they eat and how they lives. In Zoo Tycoon they build an exhibit suited for the dinosaur and scientists bring them food. They get to see what carnivores eat, what insectivores eat, what herbivores eat. Not to mention all of the information about ecology and plants, types of water, etc. It is turning out to be a lot of fun.
