Our Family..Living a Simple Life...: L-E-A-P at Bounce U

"I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built upon the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think. Whereas, if the child is left to himself, he will think more and better, if less showily. Let him go and come freely, let him touch real things and combine his impressions for himself, instead of sitting indoors at a little round table, while a sweet-voiced teacher suggests that he build a stone wall with his wooden blocks, or make a rainbow out of strips of coloured paper, or plant straw trees in bead flower-pots. Such teaching fills the mind with artificial associations that must be got rid of, before the child can develop independent ideas out of actual experience." -- Anne Sullivan

L-E-A-P at Bounce U

We went to Bounce U on monday with L-E-A-P. What a blast!! The kids and the grown ups all bounced on all the wonderful bounce structures. I highly recommend it!! Good for the soul:~) We all had fun there, then hung out together afterwards at our friend's house. A feast was had and good company, as always.

Needless to say, both B and H fell asleep on the way home:~)
