In history a few weeks ago we were studying about travels along the Silk Road. We did out own version of it in the house. Little One really enjoyed it!
 |
| First we started off in the Taklamakan Desert, hence the sunglasses. |
 |
| The oasis settlement of Tun-huang-shih where we ate a snack of carrot sticks and green and red peppers. |
 |
| The Gobi Desert where we had an oasis to drink water. |
 |
| Loyang-shih where we had another snack. |
 |
| Here we paddled down the Yellow River... |
 |
| ...where we arrived in Peking (Beijing.) Inside the palace we found gold, ivory, silk and exotic animals. :) |
A couple of other fun things we've done. Here, Little One is making a canon like the Ottoman Turks used to crack the walls of Constantinople.
We made fog as we were learning about weather. Our clouds didn't work as well as the fog did, but it was fun!
