Bay cruise by Joy

We went on a boat ride in the bay. We went with another family of homeschoolers. The boat ride was fun and we were on it for an hour. We saw a big battleship and it's name is the American Victory. When we were off the boat we had doughnuts!! Boat rides with friends are fun!

Recent Teen Events

Here are some pictures from our teen field trip to a glass blowing studio:

Oh Mercy, was it hot in there. We were pretty up close and personal -with the 2100+ degree furnace and the blow torches.

Wow!
Glass blowing is really a fascinating process to watch. We enjoyed watching the artist make a gorgeous bowl. She gave us three wonderful demonstrations. It was really a quality field trip.

Tonight we had a political issues event. First we played a game to see who could list the most presidents names in 3 minutes. Then the kids gave speeches on the election issue of their choice, told us where each candidate stands on the issue and then gave us their own opinion about it. It was neat!
Then we played charades...
Which was too funny! We had lots of laughs!
It was a great evening!

Andrew on the Presidential Rally

We went to the John McCain rally and I got to see him in person but it was a bummer that Sarah Palin was not there. After the rally was over something really awkward happened. A bunch of Democrats started insulting Republicans by saying things like "Republicans are not free" and other stuff.

It was a fun field trip. In 45 days I might be able to say that I saw the President of the United States of America!
