Core 3 is a hit so far.

We began Sonlight core 3 on Tuesday, and so far we're loving it. Lydia finished A Lion To Guard Us on Wednesday. It was supposed to be her reader for the next two weeks. :)

We're currently reading Walk The World's Rim as a read-aloud. It's very different from any other book I've read about American Indians, about a young teenage boy who leaves his tribe to travel with Cabeza de Vaca into Mexico. We're both really enjoying it. She keeps trying to make some sort of Indian dwelling. This is the closest she's come:

 I believe that is the dwelling of the Chair tribe.

Things are going remarkably smoothly. I was quite nervous about how it was going to go, with Levi trying to do a bit of school and having to entertain a toddler, but it's fine. Thanks, God. You really didn't give me more than I could handle. Thanks for reaffirming that homeschooling is what you've called our family to during this season of life.

Where else can you do math on the couch??

Six Nations Indian Museum

Yesterday we visited Six Nations Indian Museum in Onchiota. It was a bit smaller and a little more run-down than I expected, but still worth the 45 minute drive.

The main building had an impressive collection of artifacts. My favorites were all the beaded items. Levi found it incredibly hard not to touch the drums.

Outdoors was a display of about 7 or 8 different types of fireplaces, a longhouse replica, and a few other things like a planting of the three sisters, and examples of trail markings.

Afterward we went to Donnelly's for homemade vanilla/black raspberry swirl. Yum!
