Plugging Along

We're making steady progress.  Seth finished his first-level spelling book, so we celebrated last week by having a game of Scrabble as the day's "spelling lesson." I'm excited that the boys are to the stage where they can play cerebral board games.  Gabriel is making progress with his multiplication tables, and he's grasping the principles of grammar very well.

For our September outing, we visited Fanning Springs State Park, and it was so beautiful that we went again the following week.  We saw minnows and mullet, and Seth jumped off the dive platform into the spring hole several times.  Their swimming continues to improve, and I'm SO glad.  Gabriel decided he might want to be a Park Ranger when he grows up, so we talked to some of the Park Rangers to find out what they do.

Today we're meeting the group on UF's Campus for a tour of a statue exhibit by sculptor Seward Johnson.  My plan is to take pictures of the statues, then we'll come home and research online the works of art that inspired them.
