Yes, this is learning!

Were sitting right now watching "Man, Woman vs Wild" with the kids. I love that there are shows that we can watch as a family & learn something as well. The best part is all the questions they ask. Shows like this get them thinking. So far we've learned that you can boil water in a plastic bottle over a fire without the plastic melting & that you can use glasses to start a fire.They explained it, but the kids were interested in excactly how so we will look it up later. Plus we will do a little experiment of our own. Killian wants to know if it would burn your hand if it can start a fire. Not really sure how were going to test that without a trip to the emergency room. We've also learned about various snakes of the Lousiana bayou.Amazingly there are 54 species in the LA swamps, 7 are venomous. Not really bad considering its a swamp. So I know for most people this might not seem like learning, but its not just about learning facts. Its about inspiring a love of learning. Also considering we like to spend time in the great outdoors you never know when we might need a little survivor know how. Now showing.... "Man, Woman, Children vs Wild".
