Some school

One of the many benefits of educating at home is the flexibility to go, see and explore. This year we are studying American history, and Dec 7, marked the 70th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. We spent a morning exploring, watching, learning and contemplating this monumental event in history - we even had a chance to talk briefly with a few who were there on that fateful Sunday morning.  No amount of history reading can replace that!

One morning we headed to the local Army Museum and walked around exploring - only because it was built so sturdily that not even a wrecking ball could destroy the Battery is it now a museum showcasing Army presence in Hawaii. Lukas and Noah spent a long time studying the various cases showing off weapons, and artifacts from years past.
The somberness of these places, and the destruction of war was not lost on the boys. Our freedom came and still come at a high price - the brave and unselfish men and women in uniform. Thank you for your service!
