GATOR WRESTLING 101

GATORLAND


What a day we had! Well what boy doesn't love reptiles! and with the added bonus of the Florida Resident special of $9.99 who could resist! Additionally if your studying Florida, Alligators are on the list...right? Not to mention that we had also come across information of Leusistic Alligators when doing some related search and Chase had become intrigued! And HAD to just had to...LOOK into the eyes of a blue eyed white alligator! Well, what do ya know? Thanks to "mom research" Gatorland (right in our backyard) has FOUR!!!
Leusistic Alligator : a blue eyed white alligator. Similiar to Albinoism it is caused my genetic mutation and is extremely rare.

ADVENTURE

Hello All! Well here we are a little more than a month into our ADVENTURE! ...and I wouldn't trade it for the world. As I imagined there has definately been a bit of an "adjustment period", How does one go not only from Summertime into the school year but also into our FIRST year Homeschooling? What does a 7 year old expect when Mom says, "We're doing school at home this year"? Just IMAGINE...visions of video games, cartoons, trips to the park, theme parks, swimming and the beach, and all the other FUN he was sure his little brother and I were up to...dance through his head! So yeah...some of his visions are mine too!!! But maybe the Surprise was that Reading, Math, Science, Geography, History, Handwriting, Journaling, and Living Books would also be a part of our days too :) ECLECTIC Style Baby! Toss some fieldtrips in, and we are well on our way to a fun filled journey of learning and exploration. My desire...My destination is to instill a TRUE LOVE for LEARNING& READING that lives in my Boys hearts forever! Day by day we'll make our way, finding what works for each of the boys, what makes them happy and peaks their interest. With the Love and Support of wonderful family and friend, what more could a girl ask for?
