When I left town to help someone, Len took time off from work and held down the fort for a week. What a wonderful man/husband/father!
And when Dad is in charge of the homeschool, something interesting is bound to happen . . .
Hmm . . . What could be in the plastic bag?
Len found this recently dead lizard while mowing the lawn.
Waste not, want not . . .
The stereoscope enlarges 3-D objects (vs. slides under a microscope) to 20X and 40X. It's been one of our best school investments. (Skip the next few pictures if you're squeamish!)
Marianna took most of these photos. There are plenty more!
Len walked me through the pictures, pointing out the heart (they could see the ventricles under the stereoscope), lungs, spinal cord, kidneys, trachea (which opened near the tip of the tongue), etc.
Having a veterinarian for a dad can certainly be fascinating. He's brought home baby bunnies and squirrels for visits, and dissected a still-warm chipmunk on the kitchen table.
