This summer is one long road trip for us! In the month of July alone, we will be driving 3,377 miles (for a total of 54 hours of drive time). With this much traveling, I'm glad that we are on summer break from school! It is a big blessing to be able to see churches, friends and family that we don't often get to see.
Even though we aren't doing "school", the kids have been learning alot. We visited the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum and learned a lot about Lincoln and the Civil war. We visited the St. Louis Botanical Gardens and learned about different species of flower and plants. We visited the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago and learned about fish and oceans. We have gone to see the Dunes in Indiana. The kids have worked in the garden, fished, read a lot and swam. Heather is at horse camp this week.
Sometimes I joke with the kids and say, "Uh-oh! You're learning something and it's not even a school day!!" Katrina rolls her eyes and says, "Mooooom! You don't just learn in school." :-)
