In any case, my good friend took us on a tour of the Joseph Wolf Brewery Cave this past weekend in Stillwater, MN. Mane learned that the temperature stays the same in this cave all year round, that it was marketed as a bomb shelter during World War 2 (she also learned why it would have made a really poor bomb shelter, especially with a fireplace and a thousand people inside), and that beer brewing had to stop in 1920 due to prohibition. We saw the underground spring and talked about why cave tunnels shouldn't be dug one on top of the other. That's a good bit of science, history, and social studies right there in one half hour tour!! She gave the full report to Mango when we got home. So, I know she enjoyed and retained quite a lot from our little field trip!
On Monday, Mane had her first art lesson at Rum River Art Center in Anoka. We stopped in at the Lifetime Fitness in Champlin, where she played in the Play Maze. We picked up Mango from work. Then, Mane went to choir practice! It was a full and active day!
Tuesday morning we caught the bus and headed to the park!

Tuesday afternoon we finally stayed home! Mane added to the history timeline on the wall, listened to some Story of the World audio and read from the Usborne History Encyclopedia, read books, practiced handwriting, did math, talked about Harry Potter, and helped make dinner! Life is full to the tippy top!
