Adventure Landing {Review}

Why keep your kids fenced in on such a beautiful, sunny day when you can get outdoors and play some mini-golf? When we arrived at Adventure Landing in Winston-Salem today we saw quite a crowd! Apparently we weren't the only ones who wanted to practice our swing! Fortunately, there were three (at least from I could see) different courses to choose from! We chose a par 2 and got started right away!

Even with such a crowd, everyone dispersed to different courses so you never really felt like you were on top of anyone, or rushed. Surprisingly, my kids (ages 4-7) didn't get tired throughout the 18 hole course. They just wanted to keep on going! My seven year old was the only one with a hole in one, yeah, I didn't even get one! My six year old just kept on moving through and his favorite part was the waterfall. He was continually concerned the ball would fall in the water, fortunately it never did!

Now, my four year old didn't quite understand the whole "not using your hands" thing and kept picking up the ball and placing it next to the hole to hit it in. Cracks me up.

Some Things to Know Before you Go

~ They prefer that you golf in groups of 4

~ No more than 5 swings per hole

On our drive home the kids were already asking to go back! Definitely a fun family outing! Maybe next time we will give the bumper boats or arcade a try!

Original 13 Colonies Fact Cards (Free Printable)

These Thirteen Colonies Fact Cards were created for my kids as we studied early American history. What a pivotal time in our history! Puritans seeking religious freedom, adventurers setting out for a new land, and those in debt hoping for a fresh start—a new life. From the first colony in Virginia, until all thirteen stars on the first American flag were represented, these cards are a perfect review for your homeschoolers. Use them to drill the first thirteen colonies so your child can recite them with ease, and have them dictate the information on the cards to help them remember a small fact about each colony. Feel free to print these out and have your children write facts that they learn about each colony on the back. Go ahead and laminate them, too! Simply right-click, save, and print to use this resource in your homeschool as you study about the original thirteen colonies in America. Use the facts for dictation, copy work, or discussion in your home. Disclaimer: All co...

Truck-Themed Homeschool Chore Chart

Use this truck-themed homeschool chore chart to keep your kids on track throughout the school week. With lessons, field trips, meals, and unexpected errands filling up your week, even the simplest chore chart can help your home run more smoothly. At times, kids are excited for the new opportunity to help out around the house and do it with joy. Other times they stomp toward the trash can with anything but a good attitude. Help keep attitudes in check by using stickers, smiley faces, or positive verbal reinforcement as your child completes each task on the chart. For the child who loves lists (and the mom) this is the perfect free printable to have on hand! (Simply right-click, save, and print)

The Pencil Grip Inc. {Review}

We have found what we have been looking for in The Pencil Grip Inc .'s 24 pack of Magic Stix Washable Markers . These markers are the perfect fit for a homeschooling family such as ours. I am thrilled to tell you about our experience with them! Normally, I do not have a favorable impression of markers for several reasons. For one, as a kid, I remember markers having such a strong smell that it would give me a headache. I know some kids enjoyed the scents but it certainly was not for me. And to be honest, if I had markers like that in my house today, my kids would probably stick them up their nose or something. Another reason I have a distaste for markers is the drying out factor. As a parent of many children this is super frustrating. I finally teach the older ones to put the caps back on when they are done using their markers but then a younger one comes along and just doesn't understand. This then leads to the undue frustration of your child sitting down to...
