Detour!

Today we went to Sun City West to meet my mom and Mr. M for lunch. It was fun and we had chinese. MmM!

On our way home, coming down the 303, i saw the sign for the White Tank Mountain Park that I see every time I go that way. Today, i thought, LET'S GO! We always talk about going and we never do so off we went.

We didn't stay a whole long time but did get out and walk one of the trails. We got in some Science, History and PE all in one outing. Laren learned about the first people to live in the area, about the native plants to the area as well as animals that live here. Of course, that was her favorite part. We came home and looked up some of the things to learn more.

One of the things we saw were the Petroglyphs. We learned the difference between hyroglyphics and petroglyphics. We are on our way to bed now, but will post some pix tomorrow.

The homeschooling has been going along great. We are venturing into something new called UNschooling, which is a lot like we did today. More on that later. Goodnight!
