I like that you adapted the writing activities to make them pertain to your kids' interests, or what was in your environment at the time. I love to see all of your adventures and now I want to go their too. I can't believe they climbed down those vines and swam in a cave. Very brave indeed.Kristin https://www.blogger.com/profile/04323713538989288259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2739153214386464945.post-35650305687462969832011-06-23T21:55:05.916-07:002011-06-23T21:55:05.916-07:00AM, at the airport the TSA woman said, "Do yo...AM, at the airport the TSA woman said, "Do you have another one on the way?" I looked down in dismay and was relieved when she said, "I mean license. This one is expired." Oops! But not that kind of oops.<br /><br />Carolyn, there were several things that made my heart stop on this trip, but not that, strangely enough. Parasailing at 800 feet with Greta next to me was scary. When the girls dashed off in the lava tube with all the flashlights and left me in the dark and Clem went so far that she did not hear me call or answer...the rock was almost relaxing.<br /><br />Tricia, it is exactly that--good short exercises for a writer's workshop. Most of them I'm sure you could come up with yourself, but then, if you have a book, you won't have to!<br /><br />Cristina, it is not as much of a must-have book as Wacky Wesearch Reports which Tricia (above) recommended to me and which is fa-a-abulous. I draw from it all the time. But it does have fun, short, engaging prompts.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04779866178920345344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2739153214386464945.post-37959233402600183112011-06-21T16:20:48.293-07:002011-06-21T16:20:48.293-07:00Those are some seriously cool adventures.

It probably has some good activities to use as exercises for the writer's workshop.<br /><br />My favorite was the restaurant description. And Greta's recollection of sitting with you on the "fine yellowy-tanny sand of Ka'anapali beach."
