Texas Nature Challenge #1


Challenge #1

1)  Take a Group Picture at Opening Ceremonies.  Okay so maybe this contest is coordinated for larger homeschool groups, schools and such, but, it is what it is.  Sometimes we will have daddy and/or Randy with us on our challenges and other times we hope to have Sissy and Chevy with us as well.  Today, it was just us and that's okay!!


2)  List all of the sites who were participating in opening ceremonies.

Mission accomplished, but I guess for the sake of the competition I will not list them here.  I will say that Caleb's favorite was the Texas Parks and Wildlife booth - they had a scaled down version of Geocaching and he had a blast!  Here he is with the borrowed GPS device, on the search, locating the box, and showing off his prize.  Normally with geocaching, when you find a prize in the box you are supposed to leave something if you take something.  But for today, he was told he could pick out one thing if he liked it.  He chose a pencil to use at school. 

Let's just say that he can't wait to do this again.  And after a review of all the challenges, I did see that Geocaching is in our future.  :)





3) Share which of these sites you are most looking forward to visiting.

For Caleb that has to be the Texas Zoo.  All he has talked about is the Texas Zoo and getting to see the alligators being fed their lunch.  I sure hope our timing is right and he gets to do that!!

Here are a few photos of the rest of our time at opening ceremonies:






Lots of handouts to help mom remember all the participants at opening ceremonies!

Until our next challenge.....God bless you and yours.

Educating in Christ,
