​This month was filled with travel and beauty. We went to Hawaii and collected treasures on the Beach.. We enjoyed ourselves on the Central California coast. We made a trip to the Monterey Bay Aquarium.. We saw incredible jelly fish, Sharks, penguins, turtles....everything that you can think of.  

I did make a futile drive down the coast to Big SirJust me and my daughter. it was absolutely frightening to drive the really steep and narrow parts right on the cliffs.  by the time we arrived, She complained that her tummy hurt......sooooo I turned right back around to Monterey.  A waisted 4 hours!!!! 

It was an amazing month my daughter enjoyed herself and learned so much about the sea and the life within it.  It was a world schooling experience. 

(Note: The shells and starfish were purchased in Monterey, None of them were collected by us.) 

These are books we read to complement our ocean theme. She favored the Dolphin book because she saw spinner dolphins for the first time while we were out to sea.  It was one of the most beautiful experiences as a mother. To see her amazement and glee is something I will never forget. I'm so thankful to my mom and dad for giving us such a wonderful trip.  

​These are the sea animals my daughter chose to read about in her animal encyclopedia.
