And some evidence:

A Nature Walk
One of our favorite parts of home schooling is frequent nature walks.
Last week, we learned about pileated woodpeckers. We suspected that there were some in Rasmussen Woods, so today we went to investigate.
We not only found many of the pileated's distinctive large oval shaped holes, we had a lot of fun and got a little muddy.

JR just started K4:
Jojo is partway through K5 and only has four lessons left in reading. That will have him reading at a first grade level.
One of our favorite places is the Rapidan Dam.
We like to walk the Red Jacket Trail early in the morning.
And the usually find some other way to entertain themselves throughout the day.
And just in case you need a smile:
