Arizona Homeschooling Field Trip Ideas.

Field Trip Ideas 

     Every year I wonder what field trip can we do next? I am always trying to find new ideas and places to go. And some field trips we do over and over because we just have no clue where to go next. So I thought it might be a good idea this year to research on some places to go. And what my research has found is a crazy amount of places we can go. Now some are just way to far to travel for our family. All day trips are not only hard for my medical conditions. But for my sons as well. But this list as a lot of not so far away places we can go to. But I thought I would put them all on here just in case there are places you are willing to go. I am excited to explore these different places this year.

Homeschooling 2016/2017 Curriculum Plans

My plans for this year

   So I thought I would start blogging again. And what better way to start off blogging again with talking about what I will be doing for this coming up school year. We plan on starting our homeschooling first day on August 9th. And while we don't have to follow any school district calendar. I like to follow my mother in laws because she works for a school district and she likes taking the kids on her vacation times. So this works best for us. So August 9th it is. 

Lopez Chronicles Family Weekend Update

 Weekend Update
4/20/2015 to 4/26/2015

   So another week has come to a close. This week actually went by fairly fast for me, even though I felt like I did not get much done.

   The first of the week, I went in for my Refractive Visual test. As many of you may know I am visually impaired. My right eye is a prosthetic and I have low vision in the left eye. My vision was sitting corrected at 20/400. Granted my glasses were a few years old. We could not get new ones till all surgeries were out of the way. I had already had one eye surgery on the left eye already, as it's already starting to go. They were able to correct the vision with the refractive test to 20/60. It's kind of crazy, but I have two different prescriptions in the eye. Not bifocal script. But one side of the eye is different than the other due to my eye condition. Granted because they were able to get my vision corrected to 20/60 that changes a lot of things for me. It changes things positively, but it also makes getting assistance harder as well. But for me I will take eyesight a little while longer over assistance any day. I don't know how long this will last. I am hoping and praying at least a little while longer. I am not ready to give up some of my passions in life that require my eyes.
