homeschool play group

We met with the homeschool play group yesterday. The group gathers mid-morning at a huge park with a great playground and some awesome nature paths. I have enjoyed getting to know some other moms that homeschool, especially one who goes to the same church as us. Her name is Linda, she's the one I'm taking a picture of taking a picture of me below. She has been homeschooling since her eldest first became school age. I believe her eldest is 5 years younger than me. Her youngest is Henry and Marcail's age.

The kids played for almost one hour straight! After they started growing tired, I took my kids for a little nature hike in the hopes we would see some wildlife. We did see some turtles in the water, a mama and her baby, a squirrel up in a tree eating a cheesy puff, a huge ant hill (the kind that bite!). As we were leaving, in the car, I had to wait to pull out onto the street. As we were waiting, Henry said he saw an iguana!!!! I looked over to see that he not only saw one but two iguanas!!! That totally made our day!
