Isaac is graduating from elementary school. The school had a 6th grade dance, where everyone dressed up fancy. Isaac took his dad on a wild goose chase at every goodwill and second hand shop to look for a tuxedo or a vest he could wear. Alas...there were none to be found. So he just went in his sunday best. And all that so he could stand around talking to the boys about soccer and Fortnite. He told me that he would have NEVER asked a girl to dance. Besides that, apparently no 6th grader actually knows how to dance. But he tells me the food was good. So in a few months, Isaac will be entering West Shore Jr/Sr High school, which I am pleased to report is a nationally acclaimed school. Here is a link to a web article about it and other schools in Florida that are highly sought after. We'll see how he does there. I'm excited to have him there with me. I'll have a driving buddy to and from school every day. Florida Today: Top Brevard Schools

Reid and Stefani went to iFly in Orlando to try indoor sky diving. Reid was awesome at it.  Stefani was not.   Dad and the kids outside the restaurant we ate dinner at for his birthday. Reid cake choice was "dirt cake" which consists of pudding, crushed Oreos, and gummy worms.

  Ready for the Egg Hunt.  This may be Isaac's last year of doing the egg hunt.  Next year he graduates to helping hide the eggs. Esther examines our cement pile carefully for eggs.  The cement pile is remnants from us taking down our fence. Jaydon find one of his eggs in the tree.

Spring Break 2024

 This Spring Break we stuck around local Florida and visited the Florida home of Thomas Edison and Henry Ford, who were good friends and bought summer homes next to each other.  The kids were overwhelmingly bored with the historical site, even though Jaydon and Isaac were the ones who decided to visit that site in the first place.  The next two days, we went biking.   The water line post mark showed how high the water got during the last hurricane.  It came near to taking out these historical monuments. Thomas Edison summer home.  He had two built mirror imaged from each other.  The third house in the back was Henry Ford's house.  He also had two houses. Mom and the kids in front of the statue of Thomas Edison at the historical site. The Banyan tree, which grows roots down from its branches, is the main attraction at this historical site.
