Zoo Atlanta

While in Atlanta, Hayzel participated in the HomeSchool Academy classes which take place at the Zoo once a month. The first time freaked me out just a little because I didn’t know that I wasn’t allowed in with him during the 2 hour class. After much assurance from the teachers and a near tears episode (me not him), I let him go and spent 2 hours roaming the zoo. Here are some pics from our first trip.















During my solo tour of the zoo I caught sight of my boy as he was completing his zoo tour with his classmates.

When I went to pick him up he was full of energy and excitement. He wanted to take another look at the elephant and the panda. So we made a quick stop to each exhibit before leaving. And took one final picture.

See Science Center and Native American Tales

On Thursday, Hayzel and I went to the See Science Center in Manchester, NH.  We got a museum pass from our local library, so we had free admission. The science center consist of 2 floors of interactive exhibits based on science, math, and technology. They also have the largest permanent Lego display made to scale in the world. We were there for 2 entertaining hours and I’m sure we will be back again.












Hayzel got to try a moonwalk exhibit, where it simulates what it would feel like to walk on the moon. Check it out:









“The Lego project represents Manchester's Amoskeag Millyard as it might have looked circa 1900. The Amoskeag Manufacturing Company was commonly recognized as the largest textile manufacturer in the world by 1915. The Amoskeag mill complex spanned over a mile on the east side of the Merrimack River and half a mile on the west side. This model represents a portion of the east side, along with part of downtown Manchester, the city that the Amoskeag company helped to build.”- See Science Center

In the afternoon, we met some friends at Maudslay State Park in Newburyport, Ma for a presentation on native Americans.


After the presentation we sat down for a story,




and played some Native American games.

It was a great program in a beautiful setting and I’m looking forward to exploring a bit more of Maudslay.
