Since it's been history month, and Gabriel has been looking at local history we've been trying to get out to lots of activities. Last weekend there was a re-enactment of the opening of the Institute building on North Tce, so Willow, Damien and Gabriel went along. It sounded very interesting. Apparently originally the opening went for 5hrs with thousands of people there wanting to come in, and there were bits of modern technology(for the era)being demonstrated, and not working very well. We've also been continuing doing the Engineering tour of Adelaide via a guide from the Adelaide city council- this week we were looking at the water system.
Willow and Gabriel also headed to Wicked this week. Apparently it was fabulous, and Willow keeps telling me that I need to go and see it.

I never did buy the Kovac's geology book. Given that it was combined with astrology and he was in the Northern hemisphere, I think I decided that it would likely not be a very useful resource for us. TBH I don't love his books, but they do give a nice starting point for research, discussing accuracy, and discussing changing knowledge over time. It's so important, to never trust one resource, especially in this era, and I like to start that conversation fairly early when we study history.

Well I have seen Wicked the movie now- we went to see it with a bunch of our home schooling friends as an end of year outing last Christmas.
