Dad rented The Winged Migration Pretty interesting movie about some imprinted birds that were video'd through the migration process. Kids learned alot about different countries, birds and weather patterns. Dad also caught a baby frog that we observed for awhile. Didnt get a chance to nature notebook it though. Perhaps we'll catch another. Roughly 1 and 1/2 hours

Took the kids to the Ripley's Museum in Branson, MO. The kids learned alot of strange trivia. We spent about 2 hours there..
Random hours.. 5 hours.
*School is going on around us all the time.. The key is to take ahold of those teachable moments.

I always thought that I would homeschool year round as well. :-)
But...I need a good month break in the summer. lol
Yes, I have used Abeka before and am now 'running' back. ;)
I only buy the Curriculum/Lesson plans IF I can find them cheaply on swap boards and ebay, and so far I've had luck. I did use K5 with my now 7 year old with NO guides and it it worked out just fine. :)
Oh my goodness, no...no offense taken at all! :)
I understand what you mean about being overwhelmed doing your own thing. I've tried so many things thinking it would lighten the load, even CM...but it was worse. :-/
I hope you find something that 1) you like 2) works for your family
