Thursday: The Videographer's Assistants

We set up an operation in the town park, where we had lunch. As the boys played a quick football game I saw Lain kick a decent placement. Later I noticed it was a hard rubber football…the hardest kind to kick. I was even more impressed with his boot. The kids walked to a nearby wilderness area and collected insects. It was funny to see big boys running and jumping trying to catch butterflies. Afterwards they identified the specific insect.

A videographer arrived to document these studies…they are to be turned into curriculum to be sold to home school families for individual use. Tammy and Sandy were drafted to assist and record video taken and needed.

That night Andy spoke on fresh-water mollusks, which attract fish with an amazing decoy technique. The mollusk deploys an appendage with markings that look exactly like a small fish…it even has markings like eyes. This attracts a larger fish. Just as the fish tries to take a bite, the blind mollusk shoots its eggs into the fish’s mouth, where they attach to the gills to grow. When larger they drop off and repeat the process. Again, unexplainable by evolutionists.

We also saw a film on how the earth is situated in a specific area in the solar system and Milky Way, making it most conducive not only for life, but also telescopic exploration of the universe.

In elaborate costumes David Norman, Meg, and other students dramatisized caterpillars turning into butterflies in a humorous skit.

Kyle and Andrew played in the band, and Will had his first go at the video board, broadcasting words to songs.
