Some of our fellow travelers have been busy, and have put together the Family Adventure Podcast. They interview families that have spent significant time traveling with their kids. Many of their travelers have been boat families, sailing around the world for extended periods. They also include RV families, and aim to include all sorts of…
With the “start” of another school year I thought I’d update the far reaches of the universe with our current road school curriculum. After a harrowing, first ever experience putting together a curriculum on my own last year I feel that this year has been pretty low key. We’ve moved ahead in most of their…
We got Spectrum Test Practice Grade 3 from Amazon. It was good test practice and also helped us see what we still needed to work on!ReplyCancel
You are very organized! I have not found it easy to be organized with our road schooling. We have not purchased a curriculum though each girl has a grade appropriate multi-subject workbook. We end up doing a lot of online learning games mixed with library time, and of course field trips! I need to probably add a bit more structure though.ReplyCancel

August 24, 2014 Dear Andrew, You have turned 7 years old! I can’t believe it! Just yesterday I swear I was dropping you off for your first day of pre-school. You’ve grown so much over the last year of our travels and I’m very proud of you. You love to read. If traveling has given…
We use the bed of our truck as a garage: It has some tools, some chairs, a generator, bike helmets, our BBQ, and other various items. Covering the bed is a Retrax rolling bed cover. I added yakima rails on top of that, so we could load the bikes just above the bed of the…
I’m ready for my kids to be long distance hikers. I realize they are still little (8, 6, and 4 years old) but I MISS hiking. Pre-kid and even when Rachel was little and would fit in a backpack, we would take a Saturday and do 8-13 mile hikes OVER mountain passes. It was glorious….
Good tips 🙂 I just realized on our last hike that even though it was really hot and long neither of my boys whined! End in sight! They still have their moments but they used to switch who was going to be happy and who was going to be misarable! That has not happened in a while! I am so excited!ReplyCancel
Good for you conquering that long hike with the kids! Yay! Something else I’ve found that works… tell the kids stories along the way, or with older kids, playing the story turn taking game, or whatever other game that comes to mind. Can pass some good time. Plus my kids aren’t familiar with all the true fairy tales since they are so young, so that’s always fun! 🙂 Scavenger hunts are fun too, the generic nature ones you can find online work. 🙂 Or play it like Bingo! Then prize for the first to get bingo, etc. 🙂 So fun! Sounds like you guys are having a blast!ReplyCancel
Thanks so much for sharing this, my husband and I are looking forward to listening to a few of these podcasts over the weekend!
