We have been studying ancient China. One chapter was about building the Great Wall, so we decided to try our hand at building a Great Wall of Lunch. The boys used ketchup mortar to build a wall with bread cubes and pieces of hot dog. Pieces of pineapple played the role of Mongols threatening to invade the country. While we built, we talked about how inauthentic this method was...the Chinese did not have many rocks to build with (much less hot dogs), so they built much of the wall by compressing dirt.

Park Day:
We met up with a home school group to go on a nature hike and visit a nature center. Our friends Ian and Kate were there along with a couple dozen other kids ranging in age from itty, bitty baby (Audrey) up through tween ages.
