We are feeling extra appreciative to be spending this winter outside of our hometown in Kentucky since it's been a really cold, grey, snowy, icy winter there this year! <br />
<br />
Every morning I start the day with a 2-mile walk with our dog, Pablo. I love seeing the bay each morning, noticing the changes in the tides with the phases of the moon, and watching all the wildlife that are gathered here for the winter, and I'm interested in learning more about all of these. <br />

Alas, Field Journal Fridays will be my attempt at weekly, focused observation and learning about the natural features of this area. We also have recently purchased a couple of Stand Up Paddleboards, so we're able to access the Back Bay estuary and <a href="http://newportbay.org/" target="_blank">Newport Bay Conservancy</a>. There are some guided wildlife hikes through the conservancy as well that I will be participating in; and, if we are in the area long enough, there is a Naturalist Certification course I would love to do here in the fall. <br />
<br />
Below are some pictures of the <a href="http://birds.audubon.org/birds/brown-pelican" target="_blank">brown pelican</a>. We paddled near it on our SUPs one afternoon. According to the Newport Bay Conservancy, these had once lost much of their population due to eggshell thinning from the effects of DDT, but their numbers are now recovering. I was lucky enough to see one flying over the water of the bay recently while out walking.<br />

I do not have binoculars at the moment and am not getting close enough to make positive identifications always right away or to get very clear photos with my smartphone camera (why didn't I bring my SLR from home?!). As I do identify species, I will link the first mention of that particular species in each post to its <a href="http://birds.audubon.org/birdid" target="_blank">National Audobon Society Online Guide</a> listing. This site includes excellent pictures, species information, and audio.<br />
<br />
With that said, here is what I observed today.<br />
<br />
February 7, 2014<br />
10:00 a.m.<br />
<br />
Location: Newport Dunes Back Bay beach area near shore, west of Moe B. Sports dock<br />

Initially there were 2 small, brown <b>sandpipers (?)</b> feeding along the edge of the water with 1 <b>gull </b>perched between them in the soppy green land left by the receding tide. A second <b>gull </b>approached the area but was chased off by the first. The first gull remained in its spot, looking around but not feeding. There was one large flock of gulls, approximately 30 to 40, on the shore down the beach from my site.<br />
<br />

There were a large number of <b><a href="http://birds.audubon.org/birds/american-coot" target="_blank">American Coots</a></b>, in my immediate view, approximately 40, with similar-sized groupings spread out around the bay. Some in my immediate view were in the water, others were feeding along the shore, and others were feeding farther up on land in the wet areas left behind by the receding tides. The groupings seemed to be fairly fluid, with 1 or more walking away then swimming out to the middle of the bay or eventually over to another group. <br />
<br />
At one point one of the farther away groupings of <b>American Coots</b> flew rapidly to the water. Many (with the exception of about 8) that were near me also moved to the water for a brief time, returning to the shore as the other group did.<br />

Approximately 15 <b><a href="http://birds.audubon.org/birds/rock-pigeon" target="_blank">rock pigeons</a> </b>landed near my picnic table, searching for food in the surrounding sand. They flew away abruptly when another nearby flock took flight quickly.<br />

A single pure-white <b>egret </b>(snowy? great?) with a dark bill approached, wading into the water farther out than the <b>sandpipers(?)</b>. It had the dark bill of a snowy egret but not the splashing behaviors, and it was feeding alone. The <b>gull</b> attempted to chase the <b>egret </b>away, flying and squawking at it, but the <b>egret </b>spread its feathers, squawked, flapped its wings out, and stood its ground until the <b>gull </b>backed off. The <b>egret</b> returned to feeding as the <b>gull</b> floated on the water nearby for a few minutes, then returned to the area of shore it had been previously guarding for less than a minute, then flew away.<br />

Elliot and Seth spent the weeks leading up to that making their first cosplay costumes, roleplaying characters from the web comic Homestuck. None of us sew well, but we managed to work together to make a long, blue hood using instructions that El found online. El, Seth, and a friend worked together painting shirts and pants, dyeing other shirts, shopping for accessories, and sculpting and painting clay troll horns.<br />

After spending the holidays at home in Kentucky, we were ready to get on the road to make another cross-country trip from Kentucky to Southern California. We were on a fairly tight travel schedule this time, staying in KY long enough for Riley to go to a concert and getting to CA in time for Anime Los Angeles for Elliot and Seth to cosplay.<br />

El and Seth really enjoy making costumes, roleplaying and meeting other cosplayers. Since the ALA conference, they have gone to a couple of casual meetups in Little Tokyo and experienced a bit of Japanese art, food, and culture at the market, bookstore, and shops in the area. I bought a book to learn some basic katakana writing, and we have bought a variety of snacks and candies to try. </div>

Riley and I helped Seth (9) download lots of music today. If I made a spelling list out of the words he asked about (either asked how to spell or asked us to confirm that he had spelled correctly) while searching for songs today, it would look like this:<br />
<br />
weekend<br />
whip<br />
three<br />
grace<br />
feeling<br />
fear<br />
reaper<br />
Jagger<br />
Istanbul<br />
might<br />
giants<br />
dream<br />
Skrillex<br />
rock n roll<br />
mountain<br />
diamond<br />
sword<br />
warp<br />
peanut<br />
<br />
Side note: My spellcheck was ok with "rock n roll" and "Jagger" but not "Skrillex"<br />

Matt worked and we stayed at the campground. We didn't have a car through the day, and it was still really cold. We mostly stayed inside and read, did Minecraft, and took care of our pets. There was a pond at the campground with some ducks and geese, and a loop around the property for some good long, walks.<br />

We made one short trip to Memphis, and the kids were so happy to get to spend a little time with their friends at <a href="http://www.memphisjellystone.com/" target="_blank">Memphis Jellystone</a> either hanging out and skateboarding (Riley and his friend) or watching movies, playing at the playground, and playing Minecraft (Maya and Seth and their friends). We are hoping to ditch our wintry home in a few weeks and head south for Atlanta and Florida.<br />

<br />
There are always a lot of new things to do at the end of December and through January after Christmas and with thoughts of New Year goals. One thing I want to do this year is read more books of the sort that do not start with "face." <br />
<br />
Here's some of what's been new with us over this past month.<br />
<br />
<b>Books That I Read</b>:<br />
<i>No Time To Lose: A Timely Guide To The Way of the Bodhisattva</i> by Pema Chodron<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Pema Chodron's words radiate peace, love, and joy. This book is her take on <i>The Way of the Bodhisattva</i> and is about keeping your heart open and living from a place of compassion. I love to learn from her.</blockquote>
<i><br /></i>
<i>Water for Elephants: A Novel</i> by Sara Gruen<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
A story that explores both late life aging issues and Great Depression era circus train life. I know that I really love a book and its characters when I feel sad when it ends. This was one of those.</blockquote>
<i><br /></i>
<i>Doctor Who: The Angel's Kiss</i> by Justin Richards<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
A short book to fill the Dr Who void between seasons. River Song is one of my favorite characters, and it was fun to read this story about her, with her character, mannerisms, & voice in my head.</blockquote>
<br />
(ongoing) <i>A Year of Living Your Yoga: Daily Practices to Shape Your Life </i> by Judith Hanson Lasater<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Quick morning coffee read with a daily though about yoga principles to consider connecting daily life and asana practice (what happens on and off the mat). </blockquote>
<br />
(ongoing) <i>Vegan's Daily Companion: 365 Days of Inspiration for Cooking, Eating, and Living Compassionately </i> by Colleen Patrick-Goudreau<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Another daily morning coffee read about what is such an easy way to practice compassion in a very concrete way every day.</blockquote>
<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Books I Read Aloud to/with the Kids:</b><br />
<i>The Hobbit</i> by JRR Tolkien<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
This was a slow read for us, partly because it was still nice outside when we started and we just weren't spending as much time reading, partly because it is long, and partly because it just took us a lot of chapters to really get into the story. We were actually more interested <i>after</i> we saw the movie and after we watched the LotR trilogy. Finally finished it today. </blockquote>
<i><br /></i>
<i>A Series of Unfortunate Events #1: The Bad Beginning </i>by Lemony Snicket<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Seth especially is loving this series. He loves the writing style, and I hear him drop a lot of Lemony Snicket-isms from the books in everyday conversations.</blockquote>
<i><br /></i>
<i>A Series of Unfortunate Events #2: The Reptile Room</i> by Lemony Snicket<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
By the end of the first book, Maya was also interested, and now Riley is listening, too.</blockquote>
<br />
(ongoing)<i>The Story of the World Volume 1: Ancient Times -- from the Earliest Nomads to the last Roman Emperor </i> by Susan Wise Bauer<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
We have had this book for several years but interest in it never really took off. Lately there has been some interest in the flow of history and in what events fit where, so we read a little every few days. There are some biblical stories interspersed with the history. I'm probably oversensitive and tend to avoid reading biblical stories, but my kids don't have all the dogma wrapped up with them, and it is interesting to consider what they mean to people in the context of the culture we live in`. We've been having some good conversations about how the facts and fiction get sorted out and about what points the stories are trying to make or what sort of events they're trying to explain. They are interesting alongside the Greek mythology we're reading, too.</blockquote>
<br />
(ongoing)<i>Life of Fred: Apples </i>by Stanley F. Schmidt<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
My kids have a Love/hate thing going on with our Fred book. We had heard some homeschooling friends talking enthusiastically about the books and wanted to check them out. Everyone enjoys laughing and groaning at the silliness of the story, and it touches on a wide variety of topics in each short chapter, making for good jumping off points for ideas and conversations.</blockquote>
<br />
(ongoing)<i>D'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths</i> by Ingri and Edgar Parin D'Aulaires<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
This has great descriptions of the ancient Greek gods and goddesses and their stories as well as nice illustrations. Also, it goes well with gyros!</blockquote>

We decided we couldn't wait until we finished the book. The movie actually left off at about the same point we were in reading, so that worked out well; and, if anything, it caused us to be <i>more</i> interested in finishing the book. Looking forward to the rest of the trilogy!</blockquote>

<i>Movie 43</i><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Matt and I saw this. Had high hopes that it was going to be really funny or maybe outrageously shocking. It was ok. Each sketch seemed to have lots of potential, but then just missed something. I left feeling like I actually didn't know if I liked it or not.</blockquote>
<i>Spaced</i><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
This is an older British sitcom we just noticed on Netflix that we are really liking. It is written by and stars Simon Peg, who we all enjoy watching.</blockquote>
<i>Dr Who Christmas Special</i><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Didn't enjoy the snowmen aspect of the story. It never seemed to really take off. Enjoyed the introduction of the Clara Oswald character, though. Her story seems like it will be intriguing, and she is likeable already.</blockquote>
<i>Lord of the Rings </i>trilogy<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Matt and the kids had seen this before, but I wasn't into it originally. Reading and watching <i>The Hobbit</i> has me hooked on the story now, so we did a weekend LotR marathon.</blockquote>
<i>The Office</i><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
We are catching up on the last season or two that we never got to see or only saw sporadic episodes originally.</blockquote>
<i>The Brady Bunch </i>"Cincinnati Kids" episode<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
This episode was filmed at our local amusement park, Kings Island, back in 1973. I have gone there at least once every summer that I can remember since I was little, and since we live so close now, we often get season passes, taking our kids there regularly. It is on the Hallmark Channel tonight, and I can't wait to watch it with my kids and see what still looks the same and what has changed, reminisce about all the old rides, and check out those 1970s clothes and hairstyles!</blockquote>

<i>Beat the Parents</i><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Kids against parents game. We have fun with this one and are pretty evenly matched. Our kids seem to know a lot of "our" popular culture trivia, and we know a lot of "theirs." We spend a lot of time together and are curious about each other's interests and experiences, though, so I imagine that helps.</blockquote>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Trivia game by the company that makes BrainQuest cards. Questions are divided by age/grade, but we mostly just ignore that part and play all the questions on each card for each person.</blockquote>

<i>Last Word</i><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
This was an impulse buy Matt and I made at the grocery store one evening. It's a pretty fun, easy to learn game similar to <i>Scattergories</i>. Turn over a subject card and a letter card, then everyone starts naming things in that subject category that start with that letter. There is a timer that buzzes at random intervals, so the last person to come up with a word wins that round.</blockquote>
<i>Skip Bo</i><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
This is a fun little Uno-like game. Our biggest challenge is keeping our card piles straight and safe from our cat, Razzleberry.</blockquote>

<b>Other:</b><br />
I joined a yoga studio that I am loving and going to classes as often as I can. There is a great class on Sunday evenings that is a combination of Restorative Yoga with study of a different Yama each week. Maya is also taking a teen yoga class there once a week. <br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
And typing "Yama" and "Maya" so closely together just now made me nostalgic for when she used to write her name (and everything else) either backwards or all jumbled up when she was younger. I remember times when her little library storytime name tags said "Yama" or "Ayam" or "Aaym." I used to occasionally show her the left-to-write spelling, but mostly she would just tell me she didn't care about such things, so I left it alone. She reads and spells and writes left to right just fine these days, by the way.</blockquote>

Matt's sister and her husband gave us several old copies of <i>National Geographic</i> from the late 40s and early 50s. It was interesting (and sometimes shocking) to read about life then and especially fun to look at the ads!<br />

Maya is spending a lot of time drawing (both on paper and on the computer) manga and creating OCs and creating a variety of things on Minecraft and for DeviantArt and Youtube. She has been researching and experimenting with several different computer drawing programs to find the one that works best for the things she likes to make. <br />

Riley is trying to learn to play (on guitar) all the songs from one of his favorite bands' albums. He is also experimenting with an online sound recording/mixing program he found.<br />

A friend posted on facebook about an international postcard swap site, <a href="http://www.postcrossing.com/" target="_blank">Postcrossing</a>. It is free to join and seems to be heavily used by people in many countries. I started an account this week and sent off my first set of postcards. For the first batch I was assigned one to each of these countries: Russia, Belarus, Germany, Taiwan, and the Netherlands. <br />

Baking Christmas Cookies together</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When I was younger and in school, I vividly remember homework-filled nights of tears and struggle trying to learn to use fractions. It always makes me smile when my kids are baking with me and I see them happily manipulating fractions all over the place to measure ingredients, double a recipe, or make up for missing measuring cup/spoons. Happy, purposeful, life learning.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I don't bake with my kids in order to provide a lesson on fractions and measurement. We bake because we like cookies. And cake. The math involved is a tool to get what we're after. It is real and relevant. </div>
<br />
I don't have a checklist of skills for them to master by a certain age or date. I don't quiz them. When they were littler, I talked through the calculations out loud as I did them myself. As they've grown, they've each come into being able to make the calculations and adjustments on their own, in their own individual times. It is as seamless as a child learning to walk and talk.<br />
<br />
How do I know they're learning? Because it is right here before my eyes everyday.Holly Simpsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16786972527590764081noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358692672975929030.post-75141225085314247472012-12-12T20:30:00.001-05:002013-01-31T22:16:15.806-05:00Weekend in MassachusettsUp early (for us) for a hike through the woods around Walden Pond in Concord, MA.

Feels like coming home! Most campgrounds in the area were closed, so we boonedocked in a parking lot again. This time, though, we were low on running water as many places in the area had their water supply turned off for the winter. We ended up having to drive about 40 miles to a campground and pay $40 for water and to dump tanks (this usually costs about $5). Also, while we were out eating one evening, Matt's rental car for work was hit by a tractor trailer and destroyed. On the plus side, because needed to drive him to work and pick him up, we looked for and found a really nice park to stay at during the day just around the block from where he was working. It was cold, but the kids enjoyed the playground anyway, Pablo enjoyed the space to run offleash, and I even got to go running.<br />

<br />
We spent our last day of this busy week on the beach. Seth and I can entertain ourselves at the shore for hours. Riley and Maya? Not so much. Unless there are surfboards, skateparks, or something like that around. So I gave them the cash that I had on hand, dropped the two of them off at downtown Huntington Beach to browse the shops again and do teen-ish stuff, and Seth and I went back across the street to the beach.<br />

<br />
After much discussion back and forth, everyone decided to go with Matt to California the last week in October. It was a tough call: the kids love their Halloween traditions at home but didn't want to be split up on Halloween or to pass up on an opportunity to go back to California and to take their first airplane trip. Forecasted nasty weather at home for Halloween helped with the decision, and we were on our way.<br />
<br />
These are some pictures of us passing time in the airport before the first flight, keeping occupied to tame first-flight nervousness.<br />

<br />
Finally back in our RV, we traveled to Chicago for a few days. We could not find many campgrounds in the area and none near where Matt was working, so we boonedocked in a nearby WalMart parking lot. We are getting better at that -- finding places to dump tanks and fill up with water while on the road (a lot of Pilot gas stations. Matt has an app on his phone that tells where the ones with RV services are). We are then fine to spend a few days camping without any hookups.<br />
<br />
While Matt was at a work meeting during the day, the kids and I drove the car downtown to the Field Museum. This was our kids' third (I think) trip there. We spent a lot of time in the Egyptian Mummy exhibit and throughout the Africa exhibit. There was so much more to see that we didn't get to. I hope we can go again soon!<br />
