This week we discussed our family tree, ancestors, Navajo, Harriet Tubman, Israel, Egypt, David Livingstone, and Hudson Taylor.  Read about wandering through Africa, Italy's Resurrection, Italy Unites, more on the United States of America, the Taiping Rebellion, industry, and farming.  Also learned about the temperate forests, up in the canopy, tree identification, forest floor, and chaparral, the animals of the sky and sea.  Review solid matter, liquid matter, solid liquids, surface tension, gas matters, and voluminous expanding gas.  It has been a bit of a slow week for us after returning from Kentucky.  We were a bit tired and just wanted to take it easy, hence why I didn't take as many pictures as I usually do.  But we did learn a lot and the kids completed all of their work this week.  Now unto next week to see what adventures are in store for us.

GOD BLESS!

Field Trip: Creation Museum and Ark Encounter

 FIELD TRIP: CREATION MUSEUM & ARK ENCOUNTER

Went with the family to Kentucky to go and explore the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter.  Didn't know what to except when we went there, we did look on their websites before going.  When it comes to the Bible a lot of people like to put their own spin on things, so I didn't know if that would of been the case with these locations.  So glad we went and got to learn more about the Creation and the Ark.  The way they explain everything and the details that went into these two locations was amazing.  We want to return again, they are actually adding more things to both locations.  It's a definite must see, very happy we got to share this experience together.
