That will probably be our next family read-a-loud series. <br /><br />I keep thinking we should be reading the Little House series, but I just haven't felt motivated to do it. <br /><br />It amazes me that kids can't concentrate on a conversation, but give them a good book, and the world could be exploding and they would never notice.

We'...Ooh, we'll have to check out that book! We're currently working through the Percy Jackson series as our in-car audiobook selection; after that, I want to do the Kane Chronicles by the same author, since they tell you a LOT about Ancient Egypt. I want us to all have read all the Little House books before we go to De Smet this summer, too, but I'm going to have to assign those to Will, I think, while letting Syd listen to them on audiobook--I don't think the Little House audibooks will hold Will's attention in the car, not when she's inevitably holding some science fiction/fantasy novel in her lap in perpetual readiness!juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18141123092139829629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255877501892467740.post-24249483267624911162013-12-06T11:39:16.669-05:002013-12-06T11:39:16.669-05:00Your vacations look like so much fun!

We just finished reading a chapter that had a crazy murder of crows flying from Alcatraz to the Golden Gate Bridge. I will have to show Emma the pictures so she can actually "see" the scene better. <br /><br />Willow looks mesmerized by the sea in the video. That's how I feel every time I am lucky enough to get back to a coast. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your trip with us!Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09611764295297526639noreply@blogger.com
