The Joys of the Magnifying Glass

| | Comments (4)

On Wednesday, we visited Liberty Lake Park in Bedford. We have been trying to get there once a week as a homeschool function, but we have had a hard time getting others to come. Not sure if it is the day or if everyone just has so much to do, they just don't need or want to do a 'park day'. Anyway...this past Wednesday, we met a new family. The oldest daughter, Melinda, had been exploring with her magnifying glass and the sun. Pretty soon, Melinda, Rebecca, Jack and Katrina were busy setting small fires.

They were not content though just to try to burn leaves and nuts, they got creative too and now I have some fun Halloween decorations!

Ya' know, I never could get the magnifying glass thing to work for me. Probably a good thing, considering what a pyro I was...

How clever! I do have to wonder what's with these homeschooled girls and setting fire to things using a magnifying glass. Both of my girls were into that for a long time. In fact, my dd17 just gave it up a few years ago!

I always wondered if that really worked! We'll have to try it out!
