. . . and get the stink off!
I once asked a veteran homeschool mom what she'd do differently if she had it to do over again. She didn't hesitate in her reply, "More field trips."
My favorite. For real. Just call me Miss Frizzle because I love field trips. If I had a Magic School Bus, it would always be out on an excursion!

"We must go beyond textbooks, go out into the bypaths and untrodden depths of the wilderness and travel and explore and tell the world the glories of our journey." ~John Franklin
The entire world is your classroom! Happy Exploring!
Fabulous! Memories like these will last a lifetime! Enjoy!
Fantastic! Oh how I wish I could of danced in that Pow Wow. Thank you for sharing.
We’ve been to 4 of those places ourselves over the past year! Fun times for all.
