Our last day in Utah we managed to sneak in one more field trip--this time to Hogle Zoo, courtesy of Grandma Cathy (thank you!).

Seth insisted on taking my camera so he could take this picture of a diver cleaning the otter tank.

Seth isn't a huge animal lover, but there were some pretty great things that attracted his interest. He got to see the polar bear swimming around, the tiger strutting on a cliff, and (his favorite part) a display of various animal skeletons. Guess I should look into visiting a zoo a little closer to home!
I love how you put all these activities on your homeschool blog- you would have done them anyway, but as a homeschooler you're sensitive to learning opportunities that others may miss, especially that one with the culvert and the ditch and the construction equipment. People who question a decision to homeschool don't realize how much teaching/learning happens in the regular course of life, and how much of it they're doing themselves for their kids.
ReplyDeleteThe gym you found for Seth sounds awesome, too!
