The Arkansas Old Statehouse is a charming white building with its Greek-inspired columns and beautiful black accents. When we first saw it, it seemed to beckon us inside. That was before I even knew it was a museum; back when we first arrived in Arkansas in 2005. When I discovered that it was on the […]
Field Trip Foto Friday: Arkansas Trolley
Who doesn’t love a trolley? Every American kid from the time they can sit up straight has seen Mr. Rogers and his cute little trolley that whisks us into make-believe land. They add historical charm back to our modern cities with their wooden benches, cling-clanging bells and shiny brass poles. They make us turn our […]
Field Trip Foto Friday: Six Flags Homeschool Day
Six Flags over Texas in Arlington is a fun place (even if you aren’t a homeschooler). It is even more fun for us with over four thousand homeschool kids and their families there. The photos in this post are from “Six Flags Homeschool Day” and were taken in May of 2006. We were living in […]

Gone Fishin’, Be Back Later…
Here are a few highlights of our field trip day. We sunk our lures and caught some fish. What a beautiful day it was here in Arkansas for a fishing trip with friends. It was nice to have the private creek all to ourselves and picnic in the warm spring sun. Cold Kool-Aid and Doritos, […]
Field Trip Foto Friday: Snow Day!
What could be more educational than learning to build your very first snowman? How about learning what frostbite feels like? Yikes! Throwing snowballs is fun! My two Texas kids don’t have much experience when it comes to snow. It was like waking up to a winter wonderland this morning and there was no way school […]
