Exploring

Have I ever mentioned home much I like my kids? Have I ever mentioned how much I like homeschooling my kids? Sure, there are days when they drive me up a wall. But then there are days like today! The two at home and I went exploring. There are a number of little towns that we often drive through on our way to somewhere else, so I've decided that we are going to take some time to explore these drive-through places. I had them look up some information before we set out so we had some idea about the history of the town - who founded it; what there is to see/do; if there are any historical markers. Our first stop today was in a little town called Amity. And it is little . We found an antique store that looked dusty on the outside, and wasn't open. We found a cool old cemetery with a plethora of "names to use in stories" according to my 13 year old. Next to it was a pretty nice city park, but we didn't take the time to stop in. I knew we would be at another park...
