We’ve been a great many field trips in all the years I’ve homeschooled. We started homeschooling in 2001. I began blogging about it in 2005, and many of our field trips have been documented in some fashion here. I still have a ton to get blogged, but homeschooling got ahead of me – my eldest […]
Field Trip Foto Friday: Pinnacle Mountain Rendezvous
We were drawn back in to American history on that mild October day in Arkansas. There was the smell of musket-fire and fall leaves in the air. My children rubbed their hands on fox pelts and watched the ‘settlers’ whittle as they rocked in rocking chairs with the fall breeze at their backs. From their […]
Field Trip Foto Friday: McArthur Military Museum
We were moving to Arkansas in the middle of our Military Unit back in the early part of the school year (October) 2005-6. We didn’t get very many field trips done for that unit (and that was a shame because there were plenty of military bases and places to see near Little Rock). It took […]

That was before I even knew it was a museum; back when we first arrived in Arkansas in 2005. When I discovered that it was on the […]

They add historical charm back to our modern cities with their wooden benches, cling-clanging bells and shiny brass poles. They make us turn our […]
Field Trip Foto Friday: Six Flags Homeschool Day

Field Trip Foto Friday: The Old Mill
Time for another Field Trip Foto Friday (although this one is a day late). I typed it on Friday (in case you are grading me)… but I needed to get yesterday’s post up, too. I’m actually on retreat this weekend ~ so I wanted to be prepared to just click and post while I was […]
