Nurturing a Gift

Posted in Homeschooling, and Photography

Project 365 – #228 One of the benefits of homeschooling is the opportunity to nurture gifts, talents, and passions in our kids.  Munchkin thoroughly enjoys drawing and animals.  As time passes, she’s started to narrow down her interest in animals to a passion about horses.  Today, she drew this picture of a horse, Man ‘O War, from the Black Stallion book series.  This is her vision of what he would have looked like.  I love watching her grow in her drawing skills.  She does not get these skills from me.  They definitely come from Daddy and his side of the…

Crockpot “Roast” Chicken

Out of Africa Wildlife Park

Posted in Family, Homeschooling, Outdoor Adventures, and Photography

Project 365 – #224 One of our fun adventures while our family was visiting was going to the Out of Africa Wildlife Park.  It’s a privately owned and operated wildlife area that offers safari tours, animal exhibits, and wildlife shows.  As you can probably tell by the name, most of the animals are native to Africa, so our natural desert environment suits them nicely.  We were pleased to learn that they offer military discounts for general admission.  In addition to the safari, they have premium shows, but we decided not to do those – well, except for the tiger feeding.…
