OMW, this looks like a dream! This field trip is AMAZING!

I have so loved following your blog. We have 2 daughters from China (Kunming and Jiaozuo via Philip Hayden Foundation in Tianjin) and it is a dream of ours to live in China for a while. All we need are a job for my husband and to sell our house (not asking too much am I? LOL). We have talked about it alot in the past couple weeks. I must admit, I am intimidated about homeschooling there–I’m sort of a book addict… I know I would need to pare down our collection QUITE a bit! How in the world did you pack to go there? I guess it would streamline my curriculum wouldn’t it?

Thanks for sharing!

My children enjoyed this virtual nature walk in China–thanks so much for the tour! They know water buffaloes from Veggie Tales, lol. We all liked the giant snail best.

What a fabulous time! I love that Sprite caught a duck. The water buffalo reminded me of when we lived in Guam. They had quite a few there. Sometimes you’d see them tied along side the road. And of course there was the one you could pay to ride in Chammaro Village.

I guess I never thought about snails and whether they even came from eggs before! ha! It’s amazing what you can see and learn just by looking up close.

Hi Jimmie,
Lovely post! It reminded me of the countryside in Southern India, although one would see buffaloes and cows roaming the streets in the Chennai streets:)
What a wonderful experience to live through as a family! Thanks for sharing this.
Oh, I had to laugh at the custom of having to sleep separate from the opposite sex…I have seen this to be the case while growing up in Chennai, India; especially during festivities or when many have to share a house or room and space would be limited. Usually women sleep together inside the rooms, with children and daughters, and men and sons, in the halls (living rooms)…..
