South Family Homeschool - 6th Grade!

 Learning Log #33 This week we did Yates Place and gymnastics and a lot of straightening up in our basement. But the highlight of the week was going to the Planetarium!

But we have amazing memories! We got to hold the dolphin and feel her heartbeat, dance with her, get kissed by her, hold her fins, and pet her. Then we got to go snorkeling and it was beautiful there! Plus they fed us some very authentic and yummy Mexican food. On the ship we got to see shows, ice skate, zip line, rock climb, flow ride, ride slides (I even got a giant bump on my head that resulted in a black eye that I still have today!!), swim, and eat so so much ice cream. We got to tour the ship's kitchen and we...
