Sonlight Core F

August 11-17, 2014
Quote of the week:
Francis Bacon once remarked that:
"some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested."

I think we are going to finish up this core next week, a week early---but, we will see since those EHN pages always take longer than I think they will! Plus, I think we will need a trip to go mow soon...and that will be 2 days out of our plans.
This week was suppose to be dedicated to learning about New Zealand, but we also did quite a bit on Australia too.
I finally caught the bug that Dh and Dd have had for weeks. I really thought I was going to slip by without getting it, but no! I was still able to do our lessons for the most part. Thursday, I really ran out of fuel and didn't get a lot done. I had **planned** to take Dd to Kirk Park; which is on the beach, but she said she was too tired to go play and I was so disappointed!!
We still aren't getting a good rhythm on our lessons, and aren't up to where I wanted to be by now. Hopefully soon we can get more done. I think all the meal making that we have been doing for Dh and his coming home for lunch each day has really put me out of whack.
We did have 2 big things this week---on Saturday we went to Huff Park! See post after this post for the pictures! It was a wetlands, and very different from any park I've ever been to. We walked out on these walkways through a wet, wetland! Under our walk was either mud or water, and LOTS of cat-tails! Then we went to the movies! We had not been to the movies since Thor 2 came out and Dd was invited by a "L" family member (R) to share in her prize from that summers reading program at our library. She won 2 free tickets, and concession stand coupons, and took Dd along with her and I was lucky enough to get invited to go with them and enjoy in on the movie with them. We saw the movie: "Guardians of the Galaxy". It was very emotional, and I was crying before the first 30 minutes was over! The main character's mom died of cancer, in the hospital,....sad, sad, and touching. The whole movie was very touching--which is unusual for an "action movie". We liked it a lot!
