Last spring one of the long term substitute teachers at Grace's school, very generously offered our family a vacation at the ocean using her time-share facility. When she called to reserve the handicap accessible room she was shocked to discover that the earliest available time was this January. So we are ready for a vacation. It's been 7 years since we've been able to have one.
Grace's BFF gets to join us as the room has 2 bedrooms. The girls are on independent study for 2 weeks and they sure have a ton of work to do! Their plan was to do as much as they could ahead of time, but they didn't get their assignments until Friday afternoon.
Kayla (BFF) came over today and they've been fast at the homework. I think they finished history except for movie notes on a movie we don't have yet. Kayla has a math class and is getting that out of the way. in English they have several stories to read, some grammar work to do and a paper to write!
Have no idea what chemistry has in store for them as the teacher posts his assignments online, but his site is down until Tuesday. Guess they'll be doing chem as they listen to the waves, could be worse.
Now for all my work, it takes a great deal of planning to take someone with special equipment on vacation. You have to have every tube, wire canister and connector with you, along with backups in case something breaks, you also have to take chargers for the equipment. Thankfully, Grace is a great planner and always makes our lists for trips. She's very thorough, and almost never forgets anything. Plus there's all the regular changes of clothes for us all, school books, computers, ipads, phones, chargers etc. So glad we don't have medication to worry about.
I'm not sure how we'll fit all this in our van!!! But it's a nice problem to figure out. Updates when we return.
