Some homeschool 'stuff'

Munchkin has been on a massive LEGO build streak.  Here's one build he's especially proud of - these are builds that he creates himself, no LEGO instruction booklet!

 His pick-up truck.  He later upgraded it to a big rig and built a flat bed trailer to go with it.

 We took part in a 3 hour Bugology Class at a lake outside the city.  We'd learned some stuff about insects, but now was the time to put our knowledge to the test!

 Even Sprout got in on the action.  The class was for 5-8 year olds, but since it was a homeschool class younger siblings were allowed to participate with parental assistance.  I was surprised how little assistance Sprout needed, he was ALL IN!

 Then they played a game to teach them about predators and prey and about how environmental hazards work their way up the food chain.  Munchkin was one of the lowest on the food chain - a shrimp.

 Little Dude was half way up the food chain - a duck...when the game started, he went looking for Munchkin and Sprout (among others) to steal the food they'd been 'eating' and putting in their buckets.

 Good thing Sprout runs fast!!...those 8 year olds have long legs!

All the boys had fun and fortunately it was a beautiful day!
