As I take my trash out, I hear from the neighbors house: "Okay, let's spell Wednesday, together..." Grace, who is now teenager, was helping her younger brothers with their spelling lessons. It's music to my ears. I love the sound of homeschooling. Well, most of the time...at times, there are tears and gnashing of teeth. But that's okay, it comes with the territory.

If you sit still and listen, what does your homeschooling sound like today?

"There is the old jail to explore downstairs and upstairs there are more jail cells, lots of local history and memorabilia displays, plus the re-creation of Judge Parker's courtroom."

Read about their trip and find out what the children can earn at the end of the tour.
