The past couple of months, my friend Melissa and I have been trying to get our kids together once a month to do some sort of homeschooling outing. This month we chose to go to the MK Nature Center in Boise. Thankfully the weather was perfect and kids really enjoyed it! Melissa had printed off scavenger hunts from the centers website for the kids to do ( each at their own level) and brought clipboards for them to use. At first I didn't know how they would take having to do "schoolwork" while being on a field trip, but to my surprise they were thrilled to pieces to have those papers. All the kids were so excited, especially Trey and Caleb ( our 4 year olds). They went from one station to the next hunting down answers....it was SUPER cute seeing 7 little kids walking around with their pens and clipboards. It was a great time and afterwards we topped it off with lunch at Sonic :). I am truly grateful to have met Melissa while being stationed here...not only do we get along really well, but our kids do too!! I just hate our time with them was short....but like I told her the Air Force family is smaller than you think and hopefully one day we will be stationed with each other or close to each other again!! One plus is that she does have family in NC, so we will always have that connection!
Off to answer our questions...
