On Tuesday morning, children began
to wake up all too early considering the time we went to bed the night
before. With us all in such close proximity, there isn’t much chance of
sleeping for long once people start getting up!
We spent most of the day at the
campground, setting and tidying things up. I did some school work (yeah, I
brought some down with me), tried to play our ¾ size nylon-string guitar –
which is seriously out of tune and I didn’t bring my tuner :/, watched Dr.
Wile’s Where are they now? session
from the 2011 Science by Design Conference in Auckland – it was the one session
I didn’t go to when I attended the conference; but maybe I should have gone,
because it was really interesting. Then again, there ended up being HEAPS of
different talks at that conference, and no doubt all of them would have been
good! This session was about homeschool graduates, and what they were doing in
life as young adults; how homeschooling affected their lives later on; and, as
Dr. Wile loves to do, refuting common misconceptions about homeschooling. Oh
yes, and I better not forget the statistics he said the scientist in him
wouldn’t allow him to leave out of the talk!
After dinner we went for a walk,
bought trumpets {and I bought a study help to go with my school work . . .
caramello chocolate :D}, and went to the beach. Of special interest to me was
that all the telephone boxes down here provide free wifi!!
PS: More photos to come as I've just found I don't have as many as I thought I did :(
