| Abigail and Penny the Potbelly Pig |
We took a
little break from our studies today and headed north to Grisham Farms. It is a family owned farm and petting zoo. In the barn tour the kids
petted and learned about hedgehogs, sugar gliders, a bearded dragon, a leopard
gecko, a ball python, doves, bunnies, Russian chinchillas, hairless rats, tarantulas, and
more.
Outside the
kids learned the difference between the wooly sheep, the Painted
Desert sheep, and the dorper sheep. Abigail fell in love with a Potbelly
pig named Penny. There were plenty of goats, miniature horses, full size horses
and cows to visit.
Many of our
homeschool friends join co-ops where the meet together for a specific class or specialized
study. We have always enjoyed our field trips instead. We can take a break from
our work, and check out something new. A lot of times these field trips mean
school starts very early in the morning or it requires the kids to bring their
lap tops in the car as we drive to a field trip. And sometimes, too many
outings in one week mean they have to complete their studies on the weekend.
But for the most part they are a great enrichment to our learning, and an
excellent motivator to complete their work so we can play!
God said to Solomon,
“Since this is your heart’s desire and
you have not asked for wealth, possessions or honor,
nor for the death of your enemies,
and since you have not asked for a long life
but for wisdom and knowledge to govern my people
over whom I have made you king,
12 therefore wisdom and knowledge will be given you.
