Imaginary Vacation

It's actually been pretty easy to keep kae busy during Connor's naps this summer.

It frees me up to work, and spin/knit/read.

Today was library Tuesday. We...I picked another library adventure off the list of doom.

Pick a destination from the travel section and plan a trip.

So today kae planned our imaginary vacation to : Greece.

She got a whole worksheet to fill out, using the travel books and the iPad to find the answers.  I'm going to type them out because well, kid handwriting.

By plane? $2,759.39

And she wrote out hello and goodbye in Greek. 

It took her almost 3 hours to search and find all the information. She asked for help only a few times. And had a blast. 

Now I'm not sure if we should pick another country next week? Or do something else from the list?!
