We have been studing Indians in Core 3 of Sonlight. The boys (and yes-Delanie) have been loving it. They have held onto every word of every story and lesson. I wanted to add just a little to our lessons. I heard that some of the museums around here had some great Indian artifacts from the Seminoles. I call one and found it out it was FREE FREE FREE. I called the kids together and told them to get on shoes as we were going to a museum. They scattered like flies , all yelling questions in thier excitement. They were beyond happy !!!!! What ? Mom doing a field trip at 2:30 in the afternoon? Is she ok? She didn't plan this for weeks? WOW, mom is being a "spur of the minute gal".
Side note: Remember next time I decide to go somewhere with Nathan in his 'boot' to go early in the am to ensure we get a park close to the entrance. Needless to say, Nathan got to ride piggyback that day. Does anyone know how heavy that boy is with a boot on ......very....
A dug out canoe found
here in Lake County.
Made from pine.
Seminole jacketThe colors are just brillant and bright.
Delanie found a dress that she claims is the "most beautiful dress she has ever seen".
We had such a great time. The museum was not HUGE by any means. Everything was on one floor. But, the collection was items FROM the local area, in the county.
