Adventures In US History

WE did it! Grayson and Ada have completed Adventures in US history and Grady completed the Voyage of Discovery! Both from My Father's World...it's a great fit for us! Enough but not too much, complete so I don't have to piece together, and lots of exploring and doing! We love the laid back gentle approach when it comes to schooling, there will be plenty of years later to go hardcore, graded assignments and tests, in our opinion. So for now, until probably 8th grade or so, we are going to soak up the world around us and enjoy their childhood, because let's be honest...it goes by waaayyyy faster than we would like!

 The big kids have been so eager to have an art show and time just hasn't allowed, but after reading that they were encouraged to have a patriotic party for the end of school, we decided that would be the perfect time to do it! I think it turned out great and they had the best time! I wanted them to have a goal in mind for their art show earnings so they both decided they would like to go to Camp Invention at the college this summer. This is Ada's first summer she really gets to participate in much, because previous ones were devoted to gym. So they plan to go to Papa and Rosey's VBS, Camp Invention, Trinity's VBS and Art Camp! They are thrilled! It's going to be an awesome summer! :)

The celebration included a few of our closest friends and family, patriotic snacks, games and a silent auction art show! They loved planning and hosting it! So much fun for all and a great way to end our year!

 Ada led everyone in the pledge and Grayson played The Battle Hymn of the Republic for everyone to kick off the party! :)
