I had planned all sorts of learning activities while we were here in NC, but we've ended up just going on picnics by the water while the kids dive off of the dock and swim. One of the most important things about homeschooling is flexibility and realizing that you don't have to be perfect. Some people see families of perfectly dressed, perfectly mannered children and are too intimidated to even try. The secret is that they have their bad days as well, or days that the schedule goes off of the rails and they end up doing something else entirely. For us that is usually when we learn the most! Even if it ends up just being a healthy break from the everyday so you can get back to it with more energy and excitement, it's a worthwhile experience. We'll just call this vacation P.E. and social skills! They are having a great time!
We have done a tiny bit of bird watching, there have been quite a few Hummingbirds, Blue Jays, and Cardinals in the backyard! Pics posted soon!
