But that is better than nothing. Even here people are not very willing to take the initiative and plan things, so I plan the vast majority of the things that our group does and people are happy to come out. We usually get 2-5 other families out per event.

We are very blessed to live in an area where homeschooling is common and there are a lot of us. In our town (of 13,000) our homeschool co-op has around 40 kids, another one has 80 and there are other small ones plus many families that are not involved in any co-op. As far as opportunities we have had to step out and create the opportunities for getting together in various instances. Not everybody is willing to take the initiative but they appreciate it when you do.<br /><br /> I so much prefer activities that the whole family can be a part of or at least the mom and all the kids while Dad is at work (depending on what it is). I don't care for doing much in the way of splitting up.<br /><br /> We would be glad to have you live around here! :-)Abbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01842277589160618685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-720122887391988458.post-2220501884562560732015-06-01T06:42:40.963-05:002015-06-01T06:42:40.963-05:00I love that you did this, its a great idea. I can...I love that you did this, its a great idea. I can't imagine having a homeschooling community that is that big though! Wow! Homeschooling is not as popular where we live. We have a few other families that want to do things regularly and there are a few others that homeschool but keep to themselves. I have never understood the running around to different activities thing either. People don't seem to understand why we don't have our children in activities. We prefer to do things as a family like biking and snowshoeing and hiking and we prefer to find other people that want to join us if we can (that is hard to find as everyone is doing organized activities) or at least meet up with others at the park when they have time. I wish we lived in your area, you seem to really have some great opportunities.Nolanoreply@blogger.com
