It has been a busy couple of months. We are wrapping up the school year in the next couple of weeks. Next year I will have a High School Freshman and a Junior!
Our last field trip of the year was to The Bronx Zoo. We had not been in a few years. We got to see the baby giraffes, a baby gorilla, and Komodo Dragons.

After viewing the short film about the Congo I was ready to get on a plane and save the rain forest. But then I remembered, giant insects, malaria, lack of hot and cold running water, it is hot and muggy in the rain forest. So, I will save the rain forest by not using products that are the result of deforestation and using products that help the rain forest when possible.
A great time was had by all. I sent them on a photo scavenger hunt to give some purpose to our wandering. It worked out great. It was a basic list of questions such as -find an animal eating. Find an animal with feathers. Etc. Who knew the preschool scavenger hunt would work so well for teens.
Soon the school year will be over and we will enjoy a lazy summer with my only commitment being to the summer swim team for the month of July. Little Miss and I will enjoy a lazy summer. Mister B will be life guarding at the town pool again.
I am looking forward to relaxing.

Thank you for sharing. It's so much fun watching them grow up! I'm glad you get to just enjoy them over the summer. My Little is focusing on reading now, so we're not calling it "lessons", just "reading to each other".
I think he's the same age Mr. B. was when I first "met" you online.
