February Homeschool Activities

February started off delicious. We had a tour of Whole Foods grocery store, where they showed us what makes them different from the other stores out there

I think the kids liked looking at the fish, but weren't very interested in eating any.

Niels and Gabby enjoyed drooling over different treats.

And we all got to sample some of the fresh peanut butter. I gotta say, I don't know if I can go back to regular peanut butter. Honey roasted is the best,

They each got a mini slice of pizza, much to Niels' satisfaction.

And our first taste of mochi!

The boys picked to have a macaroon instead.

After the tour they gave us fresh fruits, veggies, and cheese. It was a wonderful little snacky lunch with friends.

The next week we had a Valentine's Party at Kasandra's house. I forgot to take pictures at her house, but we made valentines with homemade envelopes and ate lunch. Then headed to the park for playtime and a valentine exchange.

The following week, Paul and I were out of town interviewing in Virginia, but the girls really wanted to go to Family Culture Night. We worked on our Denmark poster before I left so that they would be ready. Chelsee took them, and they said it was a fun, delightful activity.

Ben, Chelsee, Audrey, and Josh present on Norway

Erin, Eleanor, and Luke present on China

Kasandra and Gabby present on ... I'm not sure!

Holder, Elaine, Rowan, and Ashon present on Mexico.

Hattie and Anna put their poster together with very little help from me.

Finally, we went to Coronado State Monument and had a fun tour from a very animated tour guide in her 70s. The kids loved seeing the old weapons, wandering through the museum, and exploring outside.

We climbed up onto the sacred keva and then down into it. Sadly, no pictures allowed. It was fun to be outside and participating in some of the ancient culture of Albuquerque.
