Hi,
I've spent most of this moring devouring your blog, whch I found H2H mentioned on C-A-T-C-H. I find your efforts in educating your childrent truly amazing, remarkable and admirable! Just curious, where do you find all the great places and field trips which you note on your blog? From your blog, I did just join www.freefieldtrips.com, but there are only a couple in this area 45236. Thank you for your time.

I tend to spend a lot of time listening to ideas from other homeschooler and even from friends who have kids in school about outings they have gone on. Typically I figure it someplace is willing to set up a tour for a school group, then they will set up something for homeschoolers as well. Rarely have I been told no. The nice thing with having a larger family is that it is easier for me to meet the minimum required by some tours. A few years ago HSN (Homeschool Network of Cincinnati www.hsncincy.com) had a meeting where they gave out a handout listing many of the resources in our area and I have hung on to that to refer to during "dry" periods. I am lucky to have homeschooling friends that are willing to seek out and set up get opportunities for my children as well.
