Story of the World Co-op

Story of the World Volume 4

We are doing Volume 4 individually as families, so this is no longer a "co-op" blog.  However, I still want to keep track of what we are doing and how we are progressing with SOTW Volume 4.  We are already at Chapter 10 so I'm going to just post a bunch of photos.

April activities

I wish I had taken more photos, especially ones of the fantastic Mexican feast.  I am still craving tostados today, with that queso fresco.  Recipe please!

Meanwhile, some photos from our day:

Demonstration of how to make a Mexican flag flower.

 Here, Lewis and Lewis and Clark (we only had one red-haired Clark), and Lewis' dog, Seaman, set out on an Exporing Adventure to the Pacific Ocean, otherwise known as the local Catholic church.

Sacagewea and her retinue.

The explorers arrive at the Pacific ocean (only losing Seaman once, bravely recovered by an explorer).

Maia dubbed this photo something along the lines of "The explorers thank the Lord for a safe journey."  I can't remember her exact words, so post them if you do.

Had to create a new weblog for this year!

It would have erased all of the images to rename our blog from last year, so I decided to just start a new one with a less specific (last year was 2007-2008) so this can be good for future years.
