Day 74/175 -Bugmania

 

Adventures we love to have, and this week we went on one to the local Maine State Museum. 


For the last 10yrs they have been having Bugmania. What exactly is Bugmania  your asking?  Well it is a day were a bunch of Entomologist come in with dead specimen's pinned to a board, or live ones. The kids absolutely love the live specimens. They have stick bugs, spiders, millipedes, and so much more.


I personally find most of them very creepy, but I don't want my kids to be scared of them. So, we continue to go. Monkey Man is the bravest of them all, and loves to hold the ones they allow.


Here is a few pictures of our day!

Day 72/175 - “Not Back to School Day”

 
Every year our local Homeschool group likes to put together a field trip to celebrate the kids not going back to "regular" school, and starting our new year.

This year we went to a State Park about an hour away from home.
Mt. Blue State Park was not one we had yet made it to.

It was just a few of us that went this year.. However, they were mostly all people we knew which was cool. Plus we met a couple new families.

The weather cooperated with us, and we had sun. While it was a nice 65 degrees outside, the wind was rather chilly at times. That didn't stop the kids, they still found their way into the lake! BRRR!!!

It was a great day for all.. The kids got to play and visit with friends. While mommy had some nice conversations with grown ups!

It was a wonderful day, and a great way to start our new year off.
We are very blessed to have such a wonderful, caring and helpful Homeschool community around us!
