"The Old Haunted Middle School"...

We spent our T.A.R.D.I.S. Tuesday exploring "the old haunted middle school", as my 8 year old calls it. I'll be honest, we set out to have fun, take photos, and discover how much nature is already taking over these buildings in just a couple of years. But I was amazed at how it, like all of our homeschooling lessons, evolved. The kid's enthusiasm led to a hundred questions. This was a school our oldest kids went to, my husband and I went to, and many years earlier, it was the city's high school, and the location where my parents met. Story led to story, led to story. It was quite a walk down memory lane. The architecture, the details, the decay.... all inspired rich conversations about education history, work ethics, changing values and eras. It was a fascinating day of remembering and discovering. A little "time travel", a little anthropology, and a lot of fun learning. A great twirl in the TARDIS for one day ;)

We had some fun adding cool and spookalicious effects!


We ended our T.A.R.D.I.S. Tuesday watching one of our favorite Dr. Who episodes and sharing a snack of "Fish Fingers and Custard". It was a "FANTASTIC" evening :)
