Three girls, a dead raccoon, and a crockpot
This is a great story. My wife and I did similar sorts of projects when we were home schooling our kids (my favorite was the trip to Yellowstone for a geology&#x2F;chemistry&#x2F;geography&#x2F;ecology&#x2F;biology quinfecta :-)<p>It doesn&#x27;t mention, but implies something I found important. That is that as a parent I had to invest my own time in equal to theirs in their learning. It lead to push back at work when I would insist on being home so that we could all have dinner as a family and then work on family projects in the evening, but for me it was rewarded by kids that were engaged and thoughtful and willing to dig into questions deeply.<p>I have no idea if that would work for anyone else of course.
