Crowder Park

Written by admin on March 6th, 2009

Yesterday we enjoyed a very nice field trip to Crowder Park in Raleigh. This was with a lovely group of ladies and their children who make up a fabulous homeschool group that we’re a part of.

The 6-11 year-olds got a class in the water cycle while the 12 and ups got a class in pond life and worked with a microscope.

I love being able to get together with a group of moms who are like-minded and trying to accomplish the same educational and moral things with their children that we are. It’s nice to talk about things. For example, “I’m encountering this with this child or that with that child. What would you do?” It’s nice to talk about what kinds of limits others set, what expectations they have, etc. This kind of involvement does so much for me!

Crowder Park itself is a beautiful park. The pond was a little murky on this day. Normally you can see turtles, which the children love!

There are a couple of playgrounds for the children. This is the biggest one.

There are nice trails for walking.

After the first of the week starting out SO cold with SNOW even, I was thankful for a nice, sunny day for this fieldtrip!

She jumps!

Crowder Park’s a nice place to visit.

About Lynn

I am a 40-something-year-old mother of four delightful children, have been married for 22 years to my carpenter husband, and live in a 1921 farm-style house. I find the most joy in my garden, growing and harvesting herbs and flowers and caring for our delightful bunnies.

I have a 21-year-old son, an 18-year-old son, a 15-year-old son, and a bright and bubbly (and very funny) 11-year-old daughter who is homeschooled.

I'm a North Carolina girl and I love sharing North Carolina links and information. I'm a book lover, bird lover, gardener and aspiring herbalist. I seek no help for my thrift store addiction. I do medical transcription from home part-time.

My Symphony

To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.
William Henry Channing
1810-1884
