and the schooling begins with a ...... luau!

Immediately upon our return home from San Diego we jumped head first into school. This year we are studying the Eastern Hemisphere - many wonderful and exciting countries. Now with 7 weeks under our belt I am trying to make adjustments and catch my breath. A lot has happened. For 7 whole weeks I have just been putting my nose to the grindstone.....no time for even a blog entry!

So far we have studied the Pacific Islands, Australia, New Zealand, Antarctica, and we are in the middle of Japan now. Yes - it is a whirlwind tour. After completing our Pacific Island studies several weeks ago, we celebrated with a luau......Dear friends of ours are using the same curriculum so we celebrated with them.....producing a much more authentic experience since they are the ones with the pool, tiki torches, etc! Here are a few pictures from the night......

Yummy plantain chips.....

Yes - we are still enjoying the pool even in September!

Jonathan was instructed to "look for dolphins"....

Good friends "chatting".....

Fruit smoothies, beauties, and coconuts!






Shrimp, rice, chicken, and sweet potatoes!

Outdoor dining pleasure...


After a late night dinner we retired inside for a viewing of "Wild Pacific" by the BBC. Awesome documentary on the Pacific Islands....excellent night of friends, food, and fun.

My brain is full of lots of things and can't remember...are you using Sonlight? If so which Core this year? (We're on 6 and 1 which are working together fairly well so far.)
