Lighting the Fire: Field TRIP!! Natural History Museum

Our life in books

This is our eigth year of homeschooling and I finally got around to blogging about our adventures a few years ago.

I love the path that God has us on.

We get to enjoy the lightbulb moments in educating our children and have quite a few of them ourselves.

We are starting Exploration to 1850's this school year, 2012-2013 using My Father's World curriculum.

In the past, we have enjoyed the 'MFW Adventures' and 'Exploring Countries and Cultures', and 'Creation to the Greeks',

Rome to the Reformation,

Exploration to the 1850's and NOW.........

1850's to MODERN TIMES !!

Below is the week by week of lessons for this year if you'd like to start at the beginning.

There is also a handy LABELS area that you can peek through to find a specific lesson.

The Natural History Museum in LA.

Perched on the steps waiting for the doors to open.

Once inside, the first things you see are the skeletons of a triceratops and a T-Rex and a cute little guy in a derby hat.

The full size papa Polar bear was not intimidating to these explorers.

The Dinosaur Experience was impressive,

part puppet, part costume, totally cool.

All the boys were wearing hats which made them easy to spot, not to mention too cute!

The girls are enjoying a little break next to the mama Polar bear.

I try to get in one picture to prove that I was there among the beasts.

Story time ended our day

I got a little cuddle time with the daughter who is pining away for a bunny for Christmas
