Last Day of Not Back to School Week

We started off our day watching a DVD series called "The Silk Road." Mikro really liked the desert caravan with camels episode. We ran to the library and returned some books we had finished, and picked up a huge pile on birds, especially birds of prey. Seems he knows what he woud like to study next, when we finish our marine biology unit. Then we were back at the park again, under the gazebo on another grey day. Math, grammar, science and some just for fun reading. We watched the squirrels and sparrows, ate a picnic lunch, and headed off to the playground after we finished our book work. Mikro met a boy whose family just moved to our area, and they had fun racing around while his parents and I chatted. We took a walk by the beach, and Mikro found a tiny little crab, which he picked up, examined, and then let go. I can't believe how fast that little thing scurried under a rock.

It was a good day, even though my back was utterly miserable, and I had considered staying home. Glad we got out instead.
