Of course we didn't go unprepared! We started the day by reading the story of Noah and the flood. We learnt that the ark had three storeys, that only two animals per sort (male and female) could come in, that God closed the door and that He showed his rainbow at the end. A bit of pre-playing to kill the time before we would leave was indispensable ...
And off we went! Together with our old new friends Naomi and baby Nathan and their mum. (Mostly new, but the old thing of this new friendship is that their mummy and our mummy used to be colleagues and discovered by 'fingerprint' that we live in the same town now! )
Wow, those animals are HUGE!! And it seems like some of them sneaked into the ark unnoticed. Or did they multiply so quickly that there are more than two already?
Do you know how big that Ark was! Even though it wasn't a real size one, but only as big as possible for sailing the Dutch waters. By the way, a real size is in the making! See also www.arkvannoach.com . Anyway, we walked enough to deserve a big break!
Today we had planned to go for a second time, with two other homeschooling families. But when we arrived, we saw ánd heard tons of schoolkids. That's why we decided to go to the house of M.'s family, where had a good time as well. Despite of the disappointment of leaving the ark before seeing anything :-) It was so nice to meet another homeschooling family and see how they live and work together!
