Had an adventure today! It occurred to me this week that we seldom take full advantage of the freedom our homeschool schedule allows. We don't often venture outside of our local area, unless you consider our weekly bank outing to be an adventure. And we don't. After searching the web for zoos in VA, we happened across this local(ish) gem: an animal rescue zoo called "Bear Path Acres." You can see it here:It was a bit of a drive, and we took the llloooonnnnggg way home, but it was a real treat to spend the day out adventuring. The weather was lovely, though a bit windy. We saw some amazing old farms in rural eastern North Carolina, no one threw up in the car, and we had the opportunity to listen to Jim Weiss read about Lewis and Clark (that was from a CD I purchased at a homeschool conference I recently attended). We rounded out our day with batting practice for Jonny, a run for Mom (with my trusty bike-riding sidekick, Jack), and Waffle Wednesday. I really am thankful for how fortunate my family is to be able to do simple, fun things like this.
Oh, and this is a link to the many Jim Weiss CD's that are available on Amazon:
