Thank you for the chance.
Great ideas and article!!
Good ideas. The oceans and seas have so many things to learn about. All of the animals, fish and other sea critters and the oceans themselves like currents. When my son was younger and his mom was alive, we used to take him over to the coast and go through the aquariums and other attractions. He really enjoyed the beach and the petting zoo also.
David, my boys LOVE this as well – maybe it is time to revisit this great memory? My prayers are with you and your son.
This is a wonderful list of resources!
Thanks so much!
Thanks for sharing! These look fun!
