Zion National Park with Kids

Zion National Park is the 3rd most visited park in the entire nation. From March-November, and part of December, they have a shuttle system to help with the crowds. We didn't like the idea of taking four kids on a shuttle with all their hiking gear and hoping nothing got left behind. I mean, we have a kid who tends to leave his shoes in the car, in the middle of winter, after we told everyone to make sure they were wearing them. To avoid lost shoes on a public shuttle, and the heat, and the thickest crowds, we chose to go in the winter. This however, presented another problem.

Southwest Utah with Kids

We took a weekend visit to Southwest Utah.  Like visiting Southeast Utah, there was more to do than we had time for. For this trip, we prioritized outdoor activities.  First, we stopped by Cove Fort.

The Every Day Academics

While I often just highlight the unique things we do each week, I feel it's important to occasionally remind readers we consistently do work in basic subjects every school day.

New Beginnings- Forest School

This week, K started Forest School. He will go once a week on their enrichment days where they focus on art, science, PE, and music. A2 joined for the day, too. This time, they planted seeds in a green house.

Before I knew what D&D was, I loved using the multisided dice to teach math.
