Today’s Homeschool Theme was ‘Try Something New’ Day!
A few days ago, I asked the boys for ideas of something new they wanted to try or do. One that ‘A’ suggested was to go to a sporting event. Technically, when he was about three, he went to an Aquasox game with his Grandpa Al, but he does not really remember it. We definitely need to add sporting events to the list this year…can I really root for the Giants and Kings??? Hmmmm…….
Here are the two new things we did today….
We tried Dragonfruit! Here is what we learned..
AKA, the Pitaya, the Dragonfruit is the fruit of a type of cactus! Native to central and south America, it is now harvested all over Asia.
Here are the boys trying the dragonfruit. They both said they loved it. When I asked them what it tasted like, ‘R’ said that it tasted like watermelon with less flavor.
They ate one, and I juiced one. It has a delicately sweet flavor. Something nice to have around again 🙂
The other new thing I introduced them to was a new language….pig latin! Hey, a kid’s gotta learn some time…
