Through the years God has blessed our homeschool with special places and programs that fit perfectly with our studies.  When the kids were younger it was Learning Tree Farm and Brukner Nature Center, we visited Frazier Arms Museum several times when studying history and its numerous wars and battles, the Victoria Theater has added greatly to our studies, and this year God's special blessing to us has been the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company.  I know, Sense and Sensibility is by Austen not Shakespeare, this was just a little side treat.  The first play we saw here though was Pride and Prejudice as we studied the works of Jane Austen last year.

This year Angel has led our kids on a trek through several of Shakespeare's plays, and while we have not been able to see a production of all of them here, we have seen Macbeth, Love Labours Lost, and A Midsummer Night's Dream.  (A Midsummer Night's Dream being my favorite).  We have enjoyed them so very much and it has added greatly to the study.  It is a small company and we now view the actors as friends with whom we have enjoyed some memorable times.
