Hiking the day away...

So today was adventure day. Or for those less acquainted with homeschooling life. This would be the equivalent to a school field trip. Except this field trip didn't include riding the over stuffed, non air conditioned, half way broken down old school bus. No waivers had to be signed. While they did pack lunches, plenty of water, and set off for an adventure.


I was told by Jen that they took the hike by themselves without a guide and got lost. Here is a picture of that moment, for your viewing pleasure. The good thing is that in this modern day of technology, Jen was able to navigate her way back on course and off to more adventures. There are days, where you think, 'how did we ever get along without all this technology stuff?' Oh, that is right, compass and a map! Might need to dust that off!

The kids also got to visit the 'Sugar Shack.' In my day of summer camps in Arkansas (camp "Wildwood"), that was the local snack hut where you could buy soft drinks, candy, and a myriad of other things. However this actually was the sugar shack where they make... maple syrup, and sugar of all things! It is still the location where they have a sugar/maple syrup festival each year.
