Last week we went to Homeschool Day at Stone Soup Farm in Oak Glen.ย For those in Southern California we highly recommend a visit! And for everyone else… I bet that you could find something similar in your neck of the woods!
First, we have been reading the Little House on the Prairie books.ย (this set)ย Well, actually we are listening to the audiobooks (mostly in the car) while Abby follows along in the actual book.
The timing couldn’t have been better for us!ย On the way down there we were listening about Johnny cakes (aka Journey cakes) and then we actually made them!ย We dipped candles and made whirlygigs.ย We made a batch of apple cider and played an old hoop game called Grace.
We came home excited about handicraft and Abby has been making her own candles!ย And Jake even planted some apple seeds after hearing about Johnny Appleseed.

And after the field trip we popped into Riley’s Farm to buy some water and a snack and ended up staying to pick Zinnias — my favorite!ย
