Yorktown Battlefield

Posted in Family, and Homeschooling

Once again, Munchkin participated in the Junior Ranger program. We were a little rushed during our time at the Yorktown Battlefield as they closed too soon after our arrival from Jamestown. We attended a very interesting guided tour as part of the program. Unfortunately, this tour was going to run until after the park closed. We left a little early and asked ranger if she’d be willing to sign off on Munchkin’s work even though she still hadn’t completed all of the activities. She agreed since we planned on completing the activities after the visitor’s center had closed. The Yorktown…

Historic Jamestown

Here are some pictures from our trip to Historic Jamestown. Munchkin really enjoyed working on the Junior Ranger program. I like this program because it helps us focus on the main highlights at the National Parks. We’re trying to figure out a good way to display the patches that Munchkin has earned through this program. Historic Jamestown has some free lesson plans available.

It’s weird getting ready to leave a house that we still own… We still have a little time before we start our cross country adventure. We continue to pray for our miracle of selling our house quickly. Our travel trailer is now our home. We’ll be working on getting it organized before we head out on the road. It’s going to be interesting living…

I have lots of pictures to post and several activities to blog about, but I’m too busy to sit down at the computer and get that done. lol! Our packers will be here at the beginning of the week, so I’m trying to get through the boxes that didn’t get unpacked from the last move. We’re also trying to do the last of the major purging of “stuff” prior to the move. The house hasn’t sold, but we’ve had some interest. We’re still praying that we’ll sell the house soon. Munchkin had her final Awana for the year on Wednesday.…
