Day 14 - A Field Trip to The Oregon Coast Aquarium
Another full day! We awoke and read a bit of ITA. Then, it was off to the Oregon Coast.
The Kinkades picked us up at 9:00 a.m., and we met the Kings there. We all got in for just 10.50, and it was a great time. All the kids got along very well which made me happy. There were nine boys, but it wasn't overwhelming.
We loved the otters and sea lions. The boys did a octopus dance, and I figured out how to capture it on our new camera that does video! I have almost three minutes of video. This will be so nice when birthday time comes around!
The shark talk was very good. The microscope room was also quite fun. We had never been in there before this year.
I had a great day talking to Dee in the car on the way there and back and with Mary at the aquarium. Dee said she was a nerd in high school. I think that is funny to think of her as a nerd.
We got back at about four, and I rushed to get an apple crisp into the oven for our neighborhood BBQ. I met a neighbor who does triathlons, marathons, STP, duathon. She is amazing! During the BBQ, my kids jumped to their hearts content on the trampoline in the King's backyard. What a great thing for them!
After the BBQ, I rushed off to get the last hour of Acts Bible Study. I am so going to like this. it is neat to be with other people and to just go and learn instead of be in charge. It is relaxing for me.
Came back to watch the tape of Survivor!
Tomorrow, we are having a REGULAR school routine after two very unusual days!
