Fun in the Sun

Yesterday we spent more than three hours at a park in Lewisburg. In addition to playing on the equipment with other homeschoolers, we enjoyed a 45 minute chemistry program  called "Burble, fizz, kaboom: Chemistry for K-6" and ate a potluck lunch in the pavilion. We all had a great time, and the weather was perfect. Before we came home we stopped at the eye doctor and got an adjustment (and replacement nose pads) for Ian's glasses. They are staying up better on his nose since we did that. When we got home the kids played outside some more while I mowed the lawn. Although we had a great time yesterday, I am glad that there is nothing on our agenda today that will take us away from home aside from walking to the playground and and buying some plants and flowers. We are planning to go to Hershey Park on Thursday so it's nice to have a quiet day before that adventure. We are excited about that trip because the kids have never been to Hershey Park in the spring or summer, and I haven't been there in those seasons for more than 20 years. All but one time they've been to Hershey Park it has been for Christmas Candylane, and one time we also went in October. We didn't go to the park at all in 2015 so it's been almost 18 months since our last trip, and the last two times we went with my sister Yvonne and her family. Wish we could do it with them this week as well!
