Celebrate National Park Week

By Leave a Comment

I love nature and I love finding free things to do that are new for our family. We are lucky enough to live near a few National Park Service parks. We have been able to visit a few of them the last few years as either a homeschool field trip or on a blog trip.

Celebrate National Park Week

We have many more to visit and we hope to visit a few new one’s this year. National Park Service isn’t just a place to learn about nature but History, Invention, and places of historical significance like Perry’s Monument National Park.

Just in case you didn’t know National Parks Week is April 15-23 which means many NPS locations will waive their normal admission fees to allow more visitors to enjoy the National Parks.

Other Free NPS days in 2017:

  • January 16: Martin Luther King Jr. Day
  • February 20: Presidents’ Day
  • April 15-16 and 22-23: Weekends of National Park Week
  • August 25: National Park Service Birthday
  • September 30: National Public Lands Day
  • November 11-12: Veterans Day Weekend

Free Admission for 4th graders:

If you are a fourth grader, or age equivalent free-choice learner, you and your family can receive an Every Kid in a Park pass that will give you free access to hundreds of parks, lands, and waters for an entire year.

Junior Rangers and Web Rangers:

Do you know about the Junior Ranger program offered through the NPS? I love having my children work on these very education scavenger hunt style books as part of our homeschool education. If you don’t live close to a National Park then you can work on a variety of Junior Ranger type skills via Web Rangers!

New Tween Girls Book Series Called Glimmer Girls

By 8 Comments

My daughter is a typical 11 1/2 year old girl who just so happens to love a great book. When she found out that we had the chance to review the first two books in the Glimmer Girls series she was very excited. I am sure that she will be telling all her friends in our various homeschool groups all about these books. I can see this series making it’s way into my nieces birthday present bags in the near future.

New Tween Girls Book Series

If you are looking for an engaging wholesome read then give Glimmer Girls by Natalie Grant a chance.

In London Art Chase, the first title in the new Faithgirlz Glimmer Girls series, readers meet 10-year-old twins Mia and Maddie and their adorable little sister, LuLu. All the girls are smart, sassy, and unique in their own way, each with a special little something that adds to great family adventures.

There is pure excitement in the family as the group heads to London for the first time to watch mom, famous singer Gloria Glimmer, perform. But on a day trip to the National Gallery, Maddie witnesses what she believes to be an art theft and takes her sisters and their beloved and wacky nanny Miss Julia, on a wild and crazy adventure as they follow the supposed thief to his lair. Will the Glimmer Girls save the day? And will Maddie find what makes her shine?

Join twins Mia and Maddie and their sidekick little sister, LuLu, as they travel the country finding adventure, mystery, and sometimes mischief along the way. Together with their famous mother, singer Gloria Glimmer, and their slightly wacky nanny Miss Twist, the sisters learn lessons about being good friends, telling the truth, and a whole lot more.

In A Dolphin Wish a three-night stop in the city of San Diego seems like it might be just the break the girls need—lovely weather and great sights to see. That is until they hear animal handlers at “Watery World” talking about the trouble they’ve been having keeping the animals in their habitats. Mia and her sisters cannot resist a challenge and they talk Miss Twist into another visit to the educational amusement park to search for clues as to what or who is helping the animals escape.
