Yesterday was a "memory making" day. Since I had always been a room mother, I've been on some pretty good field trips (I'm sad to think that with budget cuts, most students no longer have the same opportunity ~but that's  another post.) ~ Ronald Reagan Museum, La Purisima Mission, Camp KEEP... But yesterday was the best by far and I am convinced it was because of the educational philosophy I am currently embracing : home school. In the past, I experienced school field trip learning experiences with one of my children and I often thought how much my other child(ren) would also have enjoyed it.  But now I have somehow found the balance of meeting my children's individual educational needs in a family setting.

Yesterday we, myself, my 2 year old, my 11 year old, & my 13 year old (along with about 10 other families ~ 40 or so people) boarded a train and went to the Fresno Met.  It was wonderful to experience the train ride and the museum as a family with other families who all had the same educational goal. I encourage you to take your children/grandchildren/any kid you love on a "memory maker".

I must add that the Fresno Met has one of the best hands on art exhibits for children ~ Chagall.

Share a "memory maker" you had as a child or one you made with your child(ren).
