Start here and say hello!

Hi! I'm Laura and I live in Houston. I homeschool my four - 16 (tomorrow!), 14, 12, and 12 (girl, boy, girl, boy). Twins like yours, Michael! (Well, I don't know if yours are b/g). I actually started reading G.A. Henty when I got my first Kindle (too long ago to remember - I'm an early adopter when it comes to technology!) because he's in the public domain and I used to not like to pay for ebooks (how I remember those days fondly!). Now I'm just utterly fascinated by my apparent need to punctuate every sentence with an exclamation mark because I'm not really that overly enthusiastic in real life...hmmm...in any case, it's great to get to know all of you!

Hello, My name is Renee. I live in a small town 30 minutes outside of Wichita, Kansas. I'm originally from North Carolina and I lived in Colorado the majority of my life. I have 2 kids and 11 son and a 14 year old daughter.

[daybydayinourworld@gmail.com 6]

I'm Laura. My husband Stephen and I have 4 boys ages 7, 13, 16, and 19 (all with birthdays coming up!)

We began homeschooling when my eldest was entering 4th grade. Prior to that, he attended our church school. 

We currently call Alaska home, but are relocating to Colorado.  (movers are packing us out this week, but the boys and I will be 'camping' in the house for a while until it is sold.)

I heard about GA Henty from other moms in a Christian homeschool group in Delaware when we lived out that way. But, my eldest wasn't sure he'd like these 'old' books. Heirloom Audio Productions has introduced the stories to our family and my younger boys love them.

Laura - I hope your move is going well. Praying that everyone has an easy transition, dear one.

Hello

My name is Jennifer and our family lives in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.  We have two children 11 year old(boy) & 9 year old (girl). We live on the family farm and have been home schooling right along. We've recently discovered that my daughter has a mild case of dyslexia. With that information, I had been researching audio books.  I am completely blown away by the resources shared here. We will be focusing on the Middles Ages in history this year and we just purchased the audio In Freedom's Cause. So excited!!  We love history, the outdoors and sports such as baseball, swimming ...and of course, our family members include cats and our black lab Annabelle!

WE are in VA too, near newport news

[cbagasao@gmail.com 23]

We are a family of 10 touring the USA full-time in our travel trailer for our Christian music mission (StephenBautistaMusic.com and TheTravelBags.com).

Our kids are 20, 18, 16, 14, 11, 9, 5, 2, and all of them are or have been homeschooled/roadschoolers exclusively. Our oldest two graduated roadschool high school, and our second daughter is almost a college senior.

We're big fans of Heirloom Audio, and love to listen to the Henty productions on our drives.

It was fun to meet all of you! (Oh, my name is Christy.)

Hello! Our family first discovered G.A.Henty 20 some years ago and we've been collecting his books ever since.

First I began adding beautiful reprints to our home library (yes, we homeschool) and then I began scouring antique stores and book sales for early editions. Henty's novels were the perfect thing when our oldest son was at the pre-teen age. It was so exciting to find quality literature that challenged his mind and strengthened his character. We have 4 sons and 4 daughters, and all have their favorite Henty novels.

We have thoroughly enjoyed the audio drama of In the Reign of Terror this summer and now to begin building our audio library too! The Cat of Bubastes is at the top of the list.

I have four children, all punks.  In fact, there are only THREE girls out of 18 kiddos in my extended family.  We live in VT and my boys don't get to see the cousins often.

I use Heirloom for a lot of our history curriculum.  It's more fun than a text book and I always have interesting things to send to our homestudy office at the end of the year.  Like when we drew Alfred's jewel and wrote a bit about it.  I counted it for art, history, lit, and language arts.    I love doing that.  I'm excited to be here and to see how this community grows.

[manicmom75@gmail.com 22]

I'm thrilled to be here....My name is Sheila!   I have 3 kiddos Skylar who is 23, Mahala who is 17 and my 10 year old is Kaden.  Fast facts about my Fam and I: We live in Northern CA, homeschool, travel a lot by RV, grow our own herbs and veggies, dream of living on a farm, make all our own soap and cleaning products, paint, read, eat like it's a Holiday and this Mamma probably drinks way too much coffee.

Hi Crystal...Welcome to the LIve The Adventure Club family!  I am really enjoying the community posts--great way to learn new things.   Kim

My name is Diana. I have three "kiddo"s - ages 30, 28 and 17. I've been hooked on Henty for over a decade. I really enjoy the audio dramas, and in our family the second biggest fan is actually my 28 year old daughter! She can't wait for me to finish listening and pass it along to her, so I like to have the adventures on CD.

We live in Maryland. I've been home schooling since 1992 and am almost finished! #3 graduates in May.

Hi Diana, welcome!  We are happy to have you here!  You touched upon one of the reasons we love Henty... his stories are great for all ages!
