Tuesday

We joined a new unschoolers park day group today. We had been once before but it was hard to get to know them because we were at the beach and I was trying to watch the kids by myself. The park was a new park to us (Azalea Park), it was real nice but right on the freeway so a little noisy. There were lots of kids already there and my kids started playing with them right away. 

They explored the park (not the playground at all) and found a tree that made a house. 

There were trails leading somewhere but none of them went on one (not while we were there at least).

They found sticks and played with them. Some were tall sticks and others very short. Not one kid hit another on purpose. Not one parent was concerned with the sticks being played with. I just hate getting the stink eye from other parents on the playground when my kids pick up sticks to play with.

One family brought light sabers and all the kids took turns 'fighting' against each other with them.

We had a great time with our new friends, we can't wait for the next time we see them. I have to say that Noah didn't have fun because there weren't any kids he knew at the park, he was grumpy and really wanted to go home.

The afternoon Ben built with Legos and Hannah played with her Ponyville collection.
