Orlando

The rest of summer 2016 was spent in Orlando and Tampa, Florida.  We explored the area, instituted Family Fridays and enjoyed quality time with friends outside in the Florida aunshine...Here are a few memories from the last lazy days of summer and first days of 8th and 9th Grades!


Our little campsite in the woods of D Section!

Another view...

It was so cool to step outside and see this in the sky!



Our first Thomas Family Fun Night adventure...

Well, we got out...but we needed some (LOTS) of help ;-)

We enjoyed many pool parties and delicious dinners at the Wheeler house.

Tina cooked us traditional Vietnamese cuisine.

So delicious!!!

We were inspired to try new fruits and step out of our comfort zone!

First Day of School 2016-17...This looks intense - We don't do every subject every single day - This was an Intro Day, so they could see what we would be covering this year!!!

Chef Braden making homemade mozzarella cheese sticks 

Diligently working...

Chef Aaron's snack to make was Roasted Chickpeas!

Braden, Grade 9

Aaron, Grade 8

Intro to Biology



Recalling all the fun we had this summer...This was our Summer 2016 Bucket List!

Waiting for the kids and their friends to show up at the pool...

More baking...and walking!  We walked quite often to balance calories in vs. calories out!!!

We tried to replicate Tina's spring rolls at home!  It was a success!

YUMMY!

Our new favorite grape variety!!!

Coming in from the heat...

Celebrating Jen Silver's 40th birthday...Started as a pool party, but we were forced inside because of the storms...Oh well, we still enjoyed loads of pizza, good friends and great conversation!

Setting up for the festivities...

Some of the party -goers! 

SkyZone Home School Jump is a regular on our schedule! 



We managed to balance fun, friends and schoolwork.  Bodie, of course, managed to fit in his regular naps regardless of what was happening! 


Lots of grilling out...

Celebrating Louie's birthday with cards at the Rec Center...

Lots of laughs that night!  We really enjoy spending time with these awesome people!!!

All this fun wears us out...but makes us so, so happy!!!!
