Gold Mine Hike


Last week, Josh & I joined several homeschooling families for a hike and picnic at a nearby nature reserve. The children went on a guided hike and learned how gold was found and mined many years ago. While the kids hiked, the moms got to know each other and ask many questions about homeschooling. I enjoyed connecting with other homeschooling moms. We all shared our views, ideas, and tips on homeschooling.
The kids hiked for about 3 hours! When they returned we had a picnic lunch. Josh had a ball. On the way home, I asked him what he had learned. I was amazed at all the things he remembered! His favorite thing was panning for gold. He said he found some...but I never saw it!
