BEACH TRIP

BEACH TRIP

For some of you this post may be late, but us Killianys tend to take our vacation towards the end of the summer. So as I wrap up homeschool planning for next year, I know VA-CA is on the horizon! Following on the heels of yesterday's guides for butterflies posts, the same holds true for vacation. If we are heading to the beach I throw in my beach guides, because we are on the hunt for shells and sea life. I also keep my eyes open as we check out local shops for books and guides about the area.

Some of my favorite beach guides are these simple laminated pamphlet style guides. When you find one in a shop they are tailored to the surrounding area, and I always find them to be a great resource for naming our finds!

I also included an Usborne book in the picture. My kids loved this series of 1001 Things to Spot. Of course the sea one is full of all kinds of under the surface critters that you may or may not want to run into! Sometimes throwing a book like this in the activity bag while your traveling helps to amp up the excitement and pass the time!
