We’re very aware of the amazing environment that Grace and Eli get to go to school in, but for them they don’t really know any different. On Tuesday’s Grace’s class have sports, and today they went on a hike through the forest around the school.

This afternoon Hannah and Rebecca, who go to a traditional school, were visiting from next door. Grace says to Hannah, “We went on a hike today.” Hannah replies, “Oh, did you go on an outing?” Grace, in her usual straightforward manner says, “No, we went on a hike today.” It is not crossing Grace’s mind that the ability to hike without it being an outing might not be the norm. Hannah thinks about it for a moment, “Okay, so you went on a hike for an outing today.”

Donné took a moment to explain to Hannah about Grace’s sport and the school being on a farm. We’re privileged to be a part of the school, and our children are privileged to be able to take part in the opportunities that it offers.
