History's greatest scientist (there, I said it) paired with history's greatest plein air watercolorist - what's not to like?
A web log of our homeschooling adventures.
Darwin's "Voyage of the Beagle" and Sargent's travels through Europe and North America are the inspirations for part of how we homeschool. The idea is to have the kids experience and learn about the world through travel while studying the natural sciences, art, and human history. To make the latter more involving and fun, I also have them play historical board games and paint historical miniatures.

PETRIFIED NATIONAL FOREST
We drove through the Petrified Forest in eastern Arizona and had fun on a windy and sunny day. The small museum at the park was excellent with very interesting displays of the fossil forms that have been found in the park, including phytosaurs, aetosaurs, and metoposaurids. Too cool!
