We had to go to Anchorage this past weekend so I could see a dermatologist for my hives. Basically all he said was I'm not allergic to the dry cold....whatever. A wasted trip and waste of tax payer dollars, but that's besides the point. lol Anyway, on our way home we decided to take a trip through Denali since it's on the way home. We were able to drive to mile 30 out of 90 miles in our vehicle. Normally they make you take the bus, but in the beginning of the season they offer you to be able to drive yourself. Logan was off running around so that is why there is not many of him lol Anyway enjoy the pics.
This is my favorite picture!!
Gorgeous pictures! Your boys are so cute! Maybe we'll get a chance to say hello when we're in North Pole to get baby.
ReplyDeleteWe should be there on Friday the 29th and baby is being induced on June 1st. Yippee!!! I know Jake would love to see Jeremy and I'd like the chance to meet you.
Dana! I love these photos. The book I told Jeremy about is called A Thomas Jefferson Education: Raising Leaders for the Twenty First Century. It's excellent. The author is Oliver DeMille. It is not available at Barnes and Noble, but you can find it at www.classicbooksandgifts.com. I would also recommend getting the second book which is a "how to". It is called Leadership Education: The Phases of Learning. Also SUPERB.
ReplyDeleteThe books talk about principles used to teach children how to think and to be leaders. It involves using classic works as opposed to textbooks and a mentor approach to teaching. It changed how I do homeschool. I no longer do "school at home" but we infuse education into all we do.
There is quite a group in Fairbanks using the "TJEd" philosophy. There are adult book discussion groups and youth book clubs. I'm going to be up there the last weekend of September to teach at a Leadership Education Seminar. If you are interested once you've read the book, let me know.
I'm working on the next post in my "Homeschooling... our history" series on my blog. It will have more of our story there.
Send me an email to jakeamy@aol.com. That way we can talk via email. :)
