Wrapping Up Summer Here in the Sunshine State!

Hello Everyone!
Have not blogged in a while, as we have had a glorious summer here!

We took a nice long trip up North to visit family and friends.
Was such fun to travel to see everyone.
Here are a few photos from our trip:

Big Bro & Little Bro enjoyed hanging out with their cousins.

Boys watching the local hometown parade in PA. Was nice that the temps there were cooler, as it was a pretty decent temp. for watching a parade.

Big Bro and Little Bro and their cousin had a great time hanging out together.

Boys holding some baby shower gifts for their Uncle and Auntie who are expecting their first baby.

(Thanks to Judy Emling for taking this photo for us.We love you, Judy! )

The boys have also been busy with swim team, camp, field trips, aquarium visits, and play dates.

Big Bro working hard at swim team practice.

Little Bro giving a tired thumbs up at the end of swim team practice.

Some of their ribbons from their swim meets this summer.

Boys sporting their short hair cuts for swim team. Better than having to wear a swim cap all the time!

Gotta love touching all of the sea life at the aquarium!!!

Big Bro found a little anole at the water splash area. The anole seemed to enjoy using Big Bro's arm as a place to sunbathe.

The boys are holding their homemade nature boxes that they had made during the homeschool year on a play date with one of their best buds, JA. Since making these boxes, as they find cool things while out and about in nature, they add them to their collection. Their boxes have become heavy, as they always manage to find new and interesting flora to add to the boxes.

Having a good time at the movies. The lobby was decorated in a fun farm theme.

A cute penguin kept following Little Bro's hand as he moved it around. Funny!

Checking out the owl at the Florida Aquarium.They switch out the owls so it is always exciting to see which one is on display when we arrrive. We love going to the Florida Aquarium! We are annual members and visit there frequently.

What did you do during June, July, and August?

When do you start back to school?

We start soon, so will have to get back into posting about homeschooling shortly.

We plan to do several hands-on, interactive projects this year so please check back, as we will will be looking for some pen pals and classrooms to do some collaborating.

Hope that if you are on summer break, that you are enjoying your last few days of summer like we are doing here in the Sunshine State!
