This week has been all about the totally last minute field trips with friends. Yesterday, we were supposed to go to a homeschool beach day, but it was 60, overcast, and drizzly–not ideal beach weather. So at 10 am, Jessica, Lynn, and I all decided to drive up to Santa Barbara, instead! The Butterflies Alive! exhibit at the Natural History Museum was open, and we had so much fun with butterflies landing on all of us! Susie’s floral jacket was the most attractive to the butterflies, by far. Lizzie borrowed my phone and took tons of pictures of all the different varieties there. And we had fun in the other exhibits, too, even the twelve year olds, who managed to build earthquake-proof towers.
