I am already thinking I need to take more pics of this beautiful little one.
Mommy’s with their little ones are my favorite thing to capture.
My friend is a gorgeous mom.
Her Grandpa made her this beautiful blanket!
I am looking forward to many sessions documenting the love surrounding this new little one!
For Hippocrates we did a review of anatomy since he is known as the father of medicine.
We also read his mini bio, here.
The boys really liked these Usborne books.
I had trouble finding books for Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle so I used their mini bio’s I found online as well.
After we read their bio I would read some quotes from them and then we would discuss what we thought they meant.
We had been starting out our mornings reading Aesop’s Fables in the same way so the boys are pretty good at it now.
The Fables were written in around the same time so we were reading them for our literature.
Read the real thing.
Not the washed down version that leaves everyone with happily every after.
The Grasshopper dies because he did not plan for the winter, he does not spend a cold miserable winter learning his lesson so that he can plan for the next one…
It is also very enlightening to learn about slaves in Ancient Greece.
Many of these great thinkers had slaves to do everything for them, thus giving them plenty of time to develop ideas and theories.
These are my boys favorite history books.
I do not even have to tell them to read them.
I just put them in our library book basket and they snatch them out.
I was a little uncertain of this park when I realized how close to Hot Springs it was.
It ended up having a really nice campground with nice trails though and you really could not tell that you were close to the city.
Backpacker.com recommends the Sunset Trail loop but it was too long for our one night stay.
We started on the Dead Chief Trail and took a few others to make a loop.
We got to listen to a nice waterfall all night from our campsite.
It really is a beautiful setting for a campground.
I would recommend staying here if you like to be close to town while camping or if you were just using it as a stop while traveling(like we did).
I did not want to leave until the sunrise was done.
It was so beautiful!
Do you like to camp far away from everything or close to town?
