- Today we are at a place called Parque Explora
in Medellin, Colombia.
And this is our
kind of our first day that we are going to be unschooling.
Ready to go inside and go to school?
- No! I'm ready to go unschooling.
- Yeah, let's go unschool.
First stop, Parque La Explora.
(upbeat music)
- [Nicholas] You try it.
- But I already got my try!
Now it's your try!
- [Nicholas] Okay.
Here, film me doing it then.
- [Auburn] Yep!
(Auburn laughs)
Good one!
(upbeat music)
- We made a tornado!
This!
- [Nicholas] What about it?
- This!
- [Nicholas] What about it?
- What does it say?
- [Nicholas] It says (speaks in foreign language).
- Press this button?
- [Nicholas] Yep.
(upbeat music)
- Now another one!
- [Nicholas] Doesn't do anything.
- Huh?
- [Nicholas] It doesn't do anything.
(upbeat music)
- [Nicholas] Ready?
- Yes!
- [Nicholas] Let's go.
(upbeat music)
- [Auburn] It's just like in Dori!
Daddy, these look like exactly like Doris!
(upbeat music)
- [Nicholas] That's a big turtle.
- Yeah.
So a stingray is the one
what you were talking about
we have a show where what stinged him in the heart?
- [Nicholas] That's right, Steve Irwin.
Yeah, that was one of these creatures right here.
- Stingray.
- [Nicholas] Yep, that was unfortunate.
- How did they catch this turtle?
This turtle?
- [Nicholas] I don't know.
Maybe they caught him when he was a baby.
That's a big scary looking turtle, huh?
- [Auburn] Yeah, maybe they caught him as a baby
then he grew.
- [Nicholas] Yeah.
- I went to school a long time
but I like unschooling more!
What did the ice cream say when he melted?
- What?
- Melt, I'm melting!
- That makes sense.
That's what I would say if I was ice cream
and I was melting.
(Auburn laughs)
(upbeat music)
- Hi, daddy!
And everything looks so green when you look through this.
(upbeat music)
- [Nicholas] All done, sweetie.
High five.
Yeah! With the other hand!
Double slaps! Pound it.
- Pow!
- [Nicholas] Pow!
That looks great, honey.
- Huh?
- That looks great.
Did you have fun building that?
- Yep!
Collapse!
(Nicholas laughs) (Auburn laughs)
(upbeat music)
- [Nicholas] 18.65 kilograms.
You weigh as much as a cachama.
- Cachama!
- [Nicholas] My little cachama.
That's almost too easy for you.
- Why is it too easy for me?
- [Nicholas] Just looked too easy.
(upbeat music)
So as you guys already know
I can't see
oh, there she is behind me.
I think she's playing with those blocks still.
We're at Parque Explora.
This is kind of our first time doing the unschooling
homeschooling thing.
Now, this is Tuesday.
Yesterday was her first like official Monday off
and now that it's Tuesday
you know here's a few things I'll be honest about.
It's a little bit harder than
what I thought it was gonna be.
Already not having a little bit of alone time
everyday is I can tell is difficult.
You know, she's always with me now
regardless of if I'm working or not
so I try to get up early in the morning,
get my work done,
but it's hard to get it all done
so I have to do a little bit during the day
and that's been difficult.
I'll have to find some way to better manage that.
For now, she is enjoying her first Tuesday out of school.
Doing her little building over there
you know I showed you that time lapse what she did
and she's about triple the size of the little castle.
So she's loving this, you know
and since we're unschooling
there's no time requirements or anything,
no constraints.
She can just play as long as she wants
and that's kind of just part of her education now
you know?
I guess.
I don't know.
I don't really know what this unschooling thing is yet.
Figuring it out, though. (sighs)
It's kind of fun.
(upbeat music)
- [Auburn] What is he?
- [Nicholas] A chameleon.
(upbeat music)
(frog whistles)
- [Auburn] I want to come and see this one!
- [Nicholas] Hang on, this one's whistling.
It's funny.
- [Auburn] Stop.
- [Nicholas] And then those ones whistle back.
(frogs whistle)
And then this one will whistle.
(frog whistles)
- [Auburn] He's so cute!
He's so cute.
But why do you think it's so awesome?
- [Nicholas] They're just a super ancient creature.
- [Auburn] What are ancient creature mean?
- [Nicholas] Means they're basically been unchanged
like this for millions of years.
- [Auburn] What?
- [Nicholas] There's some creatures
who evolved relatively recently, you know.
Like humans.
This animal's been around forever.
- [Auburn] Oh my gosh.
And he's really cute too!
- [Nicholas] Uh huh.
- [Auburn] My favorite part about them
is the ones like how they move like that.
- [Nicholas] Uh huh.
- [Auburn] It's my favorite part.
Wow.
- [Nicholas] I see a button that says,
"push the button."
- [Auburn] This?
- [Nicholas] Yeah, see what happens.
(upbeat music)
- [Auburn] There's so many shadow!
(upbeat music)
(machine ringing)
- Loud!
- Yeah, we're looking good!
(Nicholas grunts)
- Wee!
(upbeat music)
- [Nicholas] That's a big chair.
- I know!
- So we haven't even seen the whole park today
here in Explora Park.
Which is probably a good thing
'cause that means we can come back another time
and do what we weren't able to do today.
But we are both exhausted
we've been here for about three or four hours already
our water bottle's gone.
She's still trying to drink it.
We're both parched.
Our lips are getting dry.
Fun day, but we gotta go.
- It was awesome!
- That was a fun day, wasn't it?
- Yep. - Yeah.
- Best day ever.
- Lot of animals and stuff,
lot of stuff to play on.
- Best day ever.
- Yeah, let's get back home, how 'bout that?
Maybe a smoothie to refresh.
We're enjoying the unschooling.
She gotta stop messing with my camera.
(Auburn laughs)
She's gonna break it.
Don't be smashing my stuff.
