Homeschool Activities

Trip to the Aquarium

The aquarium trip occurred the first week we were back from Iowa and the college boys were still home with us.  Since Russ and I had a meeting that afternoon we couldn't remove ourselves from, Caleb and Nicolas were willing to take Lydia and Seth.  I had been there before with Anna, Lydia, and Seth, but the older boys must have been in school because this was a first visit for them.  

Here Seth is feeding a chameleon.  It goes pretty fast and can be seen best if you put the video on full-screen.

Homeschool Ski Lessons

Seth gave the thumbs up for ski lessons when I registered him in November, but was super reluctant when it actually came time to drive up to Bogus in January.  After the first day, he was totally excited about skiing again.  He would love to go more often, but it is a huge time and money commitment.

The drive up/down Bogus seems to take forever and is quite the perilous drive if the roads are snow-covered.   However, the view is awesome!  Although hard to capture with a picture, hopefully these just give a glimpse of the beautiful snow-covered pine trees, foothills, the city of Boise nestled in the valley, and the mountains on the opposite horizon.
