Winter 2017 - Part 1

We headed to Florida for the winter to spend time with our traveling community.  Home base was Thousand Trails Orlando and we were surrounded by our traveling tribe - friends from Canada, New Zealand, and from all over the USA! Our days were filled with home school classes, field trips, fishing, free time with friends, campfires, Wawa trips, SkyZone, Taco Tuesdays with Nomadic Homeschoolers, Flag Football, swimming, and so much more!  These are just a few of our most favorite memories from the Winter of 2017!
