My Five Favorite Senses

Well, here I am in Columbus, OH. We got into town tonight around 6:30pm, and we'll be heading over to the CHEO annual home-education conference for set-up of the Resounding Voice booth/equipment tomorrow morning.

I'll probably post some pictures tomorrow, but in the meantime here's my response to a "Five Senses Tag" that I received from Jessica McDonald. This was really tough to do, so I can't guarantee that each of the five favorites that I listed are actually in my top five, but they'll all be pretty close.
