History

Now that we have gotten the used to the idea of home schooling I get to show you a little bit of what we learn. His curriculum consists of local history and a look at the globe. I decided to start with local history and what could be more local than Harpers Ferry. We talked about the cotton mills and how power used to come from the water. Then we went up to Harpers Ferry and looked at it first hand. We also looked at lots of other fun stuff.

After walking we went and enjoyed some frozen custard

Kaylee prefers water to frozen custard

John Browns Fort later refurbished and made into the fire house

The bridge over the Potomac River. They are resurfacing. It looks great!

Aunt Ashlee and Kaylee

Jaedon got a boo boo at the beginning of the expedition and kept his arm that way most of the day.

Kaylee looking at the canoes going downstream. Who says shes to young to enjoy.

We read every sign and if I tried to skip one JJ was all over me.

A family of ducks. There were four adults and approximately twenty young ducks. They were just getting their feathers and looked more like furry creatures. They also ate bugs lots of them. We stopped and watched and they came so close we had to move because they were scaring JJ.

Can you see the turtle on the log?

Here is one of the cotton mill rooms. You can still see where the water would run through and help them.

More ducks and don't forget my boo boo.
