Mom's Night Out!

After a hectic day, I saw an email from a friend asking if I wanted to go to Mom's Night Out - an event I had previously declined because I couldn't afford the tickets.  I picked up the phone and said Yes!!  It has been years since I have been out with a group of friends and tonight didn't disappoint!  It was amazing!  And I'm not just talking about the movie, which is also good and worth seeing.  I'm talking about the people I spent time with and the talking and laughing that we shared.  I'm so glad I got to go!!

SAC Museum

Yesterday, we went on a field trip to the SAC with the entire homeschool co-op.  It was really fun.  A bit much for FigNewTon, but worth the expenditure of energy I think.

We enjoyed the warmth and the sunshine waiting to go in.  

A little more waiting for the presentation to begin.   

They had an inflatable planetarium even.

Then there was a time of learning about our solar system.  

Lastly, we went to a hands on room where they learned about comets, meteors, and asteroids.  It was nice to see the older children interacting with the younger children and teaching them.

I think it is so good for children to be together in a learning environment like that.  I am always blessed by how respectful the older children treat the younger children, how patient they are with them, and how much the younger ones adore the older children and teens.
