Homeschooling with Grandparents

When grandparents visit, we throw any kind of schedule we have out the window and spend our time playing games, going fun places, and reading.  Around the house we've been doing puzzles, lots of read a loud books and Luke and grandpa played a game of chess.

We have been to see the bats come out at sunset, the Mini Time Machine Museum, and here we are at the Botanical Gardens.  Tomorrow we are off to the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum.

Tucson Botanical Gardens

Yesterday we visited the Tucson Botanical Gardens.  It was supposed to be Homeschoolers Day, but it was Veterans Day, so all of the schools were out...lame.

I have SO many pictures of Isabel posing.  She wanted me to take pictures of her the whole time...what a poser.

Sylvia is saying "Only one more picture, mom."

This was inside the greenhouse with all of the butterflies.

This guy was huge.

There was a long line to get in to see the butterflies and none of us wanted to stay and wait, except for Sylvia.  Seeing how happy Sylvia was in the butterfly house was definitely worth the ridiculously long wait in line.
