On this day, the weather was gorgeous! A perfect day! I knew that the rest of the week was going to be rainy, so I decided that we’d spend the majority of our day outside.
I packed up our homeschool books and we headed out to find a new place to spend our day. We started driving, and I had boys take turns telling me which direction I should turn at each intersection. We ended up going out into the country, behind Lincoln to Sutter county. We saw wild peacocks, and a bunch of wild pheasant. Gorgeous! I could not take pictures of them, though, because I did not have my camera, only my phone (no zoom feature).
It was nearing lunch, so we drove back into Roseville and picked up lunch. We did a little bit of school at the restaurant, then drove around some neighborhoods. Found a park, and completed our lessons there. It was getting windy, so, darnit…the boys had to run around the park a few times to keep warm…
On the way back, we meandered through another neighborhood and found a neat green space that had a walking trail. I let the boys ride their scooters on the trail as I enjoyed the flowers and other wildlife that was all around.
‘A’ fell and got a scraped knee and ankle, so we had to cut it a little short.
Sounds like a beautiful spontaneous homeschool day. Have many more of them – these days fly fy so quickly and soon, they are just a memory. These words flow from a mom that has a 27 year old boy that looked very much like your two boys (very handsome!).
You had a wonderful birthday! Wow, what a way to spend your special day!
