Spring Break

One of my favorite things about homeschooling is being able to set my own schedule.  Today we started spring break a day early.  Public schools in our area are having teacher in-services this week so my nephews and mom had the day off, which made this a perfect day for a field trip!
 The Enchanted Forest is a local attraction that is wonderful!  It is only open on weekends during the spring and then during the summer.  This was my first time coming in the spring.
 The paints were all fresh, the displays haven't had a chance to fade.  Even the manikins' wigs were fresh.
 I did my best to make the trip as educational as possible, so they had to read every story book sign.

 I grew up going to the Enchanted Forest every summer and it is a pleasure to share my fondest memories with my kids.  All of my favorite parts are still there.  The crooked house where my brother use to "accidentally" knock us into the wall.
 The singing black birds baked in their pie (I bet you can guess which song  they sing.)

 And the shoe slide.  The best part about coming during the cold spring was being able to go down the slide over and over without having to wait in line.
My Merry Quite Contrary does not think the kings notice applies to her, so much for getting her to weed.
