I took the students out for pizza and ice cream. It was a lot of fun. One of my little students is very creative. She made me a chic designer purse, a sparkling bracelet and a heirloom brooch all out of paper! I wore them all proudly.
Recently I took my students to the Children's Museum in Indianapolis and we stayed at the Holiday Inn Caribbean Cove. There was an indoor water park. We had a BLAST!
Here's a picture of my students. Aren't they cute?
Here's the GORGEOUS glass sculpture by Dale Chihulye at the Indianapolis Children's Museum:
But I think the kids had the most fun at the hotel water park:
What I don't have a picture of are all the HUGE water slides! There were three of them, and they were three stories high and went outside the building in tubes! The kids had a blast. We raised the money to go -- the entire trip cost us $2300.00. God was good! People donated, we sold stuff, and the kids brought in all their spare change. It was so much fun, and has been a dream of mine for my kids for a long time. This is one of the advantages of cottage schooling. Pooling resources creates many more opportunities for my children than they would have if we were homeschooling just our own kids.
We get to share Jesus and home school values with other kids, and their families get to share expenses with us! It's a win-win deal! Praise the Lord!
Soon to come: pictures of Special Olympics! My boys were winners!
