"Lake" School aka Home School at the lake

The have taken to calling any place where we happen to be learning "______ school". While traveling back and forth across country we were having "van school". While doing the Jr. Ranger program at Stones River Battlefield, it was "Jr. Ranger School".

A couple of weeks ago, we went to the lake to feed the fish. I decided to take the opportunity to look up what type of fish we would be feeding. I found out is was the "common carp" and that it is not native to the US. I made up some questions about the carp and en route to the lake, I gave the questions to the kids so they would know what to listen out for as I talked about the fish. K and S went with us and the C's met us there. It was fun to let the kids scream out the answers.

As it turned out, the kids found the "warts" on the carp the most interesting. Actually, the warts are herpes and are fatal to the carp. Other than watching the fish gobble up all the bread, finding fish with herpes seemed to be more fun.
