our homeschool group

This here is our group of friends whom get together regularly for fun, field trips and a once a month learning activity. They are a good group of kids and a bit silly, if you can't tell from the photos.

There are 5 families with 12 kids all together. Me having both the oldest and youngest of the group. It has taken us about 2 years to really get to know each other and feel totally comfortable. The kids know what to expect from one another and our goal this year is to have them really feed off one another in their learning activities.

Each month one mom leads the day and has the kids for about 3 hours. They work together to solve problems and accomplish tasks.  The 4 little ones don't participate but on the field trip days they get to come along.  This day we went to the Rokeby Museum  and learned all about the underground railroad and two slaves who had escaped to Vermont. Photos below.

One of my favorite photos. Issabelle is being doted on by the other girls while her big brother stays close by making sure she is all right.

The day went well, but it was HOT-90* so this little guy was overdone you could say.
