And I’m too lazy to link to them but if you scroll down a bit on the left of this page you’ll see links for these field trip ideas. Many are free or have free days or have super discounted rates for homeschoolers. Many places around here have designated homeschool days, like Six Flags and the Fort Worth Zoo. (Plus there’s the Six Flags Read to Succeed program that gets you a free parent/teacher ticket and your kids each get a free ticket for reading 6 hours.) And the Pizza Hut & Braum’s programs are so fun for free treats (and great parent-kid dates.)

C made this awhile ago and when I mentioned sending letters to his penpal moving to Texas he pulled it out – a brochure for how cool Texas is!
Inside it says:
Texas state fair – corn dog chomp!
Padre island – watch turtle hatchlings through April and July.
Enchanted rock – rare fern only grows here! There’s even donut shaped rocks!
So doesn’t that convince you Texas is wonderful?? 🙂
