Sea Life Park

We went to Sea Life Park yesterday with some friends and their kids – three moms and 9 kids all together. Whew! One of the moms is a friend of a friend but it turns out she went to UVA as well! We had a lot of fun together and I bought an annual pass for Sam. He loved the aquarium, seeing the sting rays up close (they were huge!) and turtles, then the dolphin show. (More pictures in the album.) We learned more about stingrays today – they are a relative of sharks. That lead to more learning about different classes of fish – those with cartilaginous bones and those with real bones. Then wiggling our noses to learn about cartilage vs bone. I write the new vocabulary words up on a white board for Dave to check when he gets home so he knows what the “preschool” lesson was for the day. He can also check the white board to see what I have in mind for dinner (that’s so I don’t forget!). I’m trying to be better organized 🙂

    Look at that little face — eyes filled with awe! He is incredibly fortunate you are his mommy. You outstrip most of us, and could/should be writing the curriculum for Home Schooling, since you’ve already created your own “lesson plans”. I’ve seen nothing like you. Your children are and will continue to thrive under your care, and for a gramma to know this, NOTHING could be better! Thank you, thank you, thank you dear daughter!
