On the way....on the way....

We've been on the road for 2 days now and we've finally made it somewhere. We're in Moab, UT. Tomorrow we explore Arches National Park (and their Junior Ranger program). "How was the trip here, girls?" .........pause........"Mundanian," says Elli. "Good!!" says Grace. (Yesterday was good but today was long for me!) What schoolwork did we complete? Some music appreciation (Color the Classics), lesson 1 of Latin, reading....consumer math......and LOTS of observing the geography change from state to state, following the maps, etc. Grandpa even gave some lessons with topography software and geology/rock identification. Then there was 30 minutes of swimming today. Grace spotted some tracks along the side of the road and based on her notes which she recorded from a library book to her nature journal, she's convinced it was a bighorn sheep!
How exciting! So it's been quite a trip so far. We've only called Daddy at least twice a day. Can't wait for him to join us next week!
I wonder how much "school" we'll actually get done. We may drop plans and just wing it most of the time, but it's good to have some focus work, too.
