USA Day and Valentine's Day

Instead of an International Festival this year, we had a USA Day with our homeschool group. Each kid or family picked a state to do a display on. This was a lot of fun and very interesting. We actually learned a lot. Indy wanted to do Massachusettes because he played on the Boston Red Sox last year for baseball, but someone else really wanted to do that state. They asked Indy if they could have Massachusettes and he said yes, so then he picked Maryland because he later played on the Baltimore Orioles. We learned a lot about Maryland....many interesting things!

Here he is showing off his Maryland display. Levi did North Carolina, mostly because I did most of the work and research, but he really did learn a lot. He learned about the Wright brothers and about lighthouses. He still remembers a lot of what he learned! Here he shows off his NC display.

We had a Valentine exchange and party at park on the Tuesday before Valentine's Day. The kids always love doing that! So much fun to give and get Valentines! Here Levi is trading with one of the little boys at our group.

And, here's Indy with his friend, Chris, checking out their stuff. "Which one do you want?"
