tonight was almost too easy.

But back to the somersault:

No worries. I caught her ;-). Oi.

I've been dying to blog this session from forever ago, but I wanted to wait until I had the album in hand to show you, too. Aren't these cover materials awesome??? And her cover is actually RED viper...how cool is she? Clients, don't forget to ask me about the special offer on upgrading to these beautiful albums.

Here are the page spreads from their family album:

It was Homeschool Day at Sea World and I felt so lucky to have heard about it from a wonderful client/friend last week. What an amazing experience for the entire family! It was so easy, so effortless. No heat, no crowds, no being forced to eat yucky, overpriced park food. We just toured around, fed the dolphins, watched the whale show, explored aquariums, and simply played...together. The park staff was so laid back--it actually felt like less of a cattle drive and more like how a visit to a place this magical should be.

It was also really cool to scope out the other homeschooling families in our area. I don't know what I was expecting, but everyone was just so...so...normal. The kids were happy and smiling and well-adjusted and the parents were patient and encouraging and relaxed. What a joy to see all of those families embracing the homeschooling spirit! I had no idea how many there are out there, but this small sampling was quite a decent sized group.

I also had no idea that there is homeschooling "branding." A few shirts today cracked me up. Made me feel like we needed to be one of the "cool kids," too.

I look forward to hopefully doing this again next year. And wow, I just learned about Disney Homeschool Days as well! We're going to be busy. Do you all know of any other events like this we should check out?

(Note, I realize I've been seriously remiss in updating our homeschool blog. Ugh. I should have known I wouldn't be able to keep up with yet another blog. I have been sharing some things via the Creative Mama blog, but perhaps I can try to do some homeschool updates on here every now and then. Perhaps. No promises ;-)

Daddy dropped her off at school this time. Said it broke his little heart. At least she still looked cute as a button. (Dress made with patches purchased from here.)
