Another Homeschooling Adventure . . . with Lions and Tigers and Bears

Busch Gardens in Tampa, Florida.
What a great way to spend a Monday!
Glad we're homeschooling!
While almost everyone we knew was enjoying summer vacation, the boys were doing a few hours of homeschool every day.  Their work paid off with a belated summer vacation this past week.

The boys . . . just before the DRENCHING.
John and I felt comfortable taking a week off to go to Busch Gardens in Tampa and then the beach at Santa Rosa Island in Pensacola, Florida.  We all had a wonderful time.

Although not normally a fan of theme parks, Busch Gardens was a joy for all of us-- very few people, plenty of rollercoasters, plenty of imaginatively themed sections (an Ancient Egypt area, jungle themed area, serengeti plains, etc.), and plenty of happy looking wild animals to see and enjoy.

Although we are now back home doing laundry and trying to remember what is due for writing class and algebra this coming week, it was good to spend effortless time together as a family . . . just being happy together.
