Foxs traveler has made it back to the mainland.

Foxs traveler has finally made it back from Hawaii. He was so excited. He was dancing around the house wearing the lei all morning. He really loved the volcano rocks and told me their sand smells like our beach. I don't know if different beaches are suppose to smell differently but he was happy to know that Hawaii and us smells the same.

Goodbye Crash and Joshua

Well as with all good things.... Our visit is over and the travelers are on their way home. I so hope the little boys recieving these love them as much as we loved putting them together.

Just to give a little idea of things we include to send back since everyone keeps asking me that.. We made a nature book of our area, we tried to get a printed something of everywhere we went and some pics. The kids made rubbings of stones and tress as well, brochures about popular places whether we went or not, postcards and maybe a project to do or a candy from our state.

We had fun with our travelers and I have enjoyed getting to know the moms as well. It has been a great expierence and the kids all wanna know when they are getting to go somewhere else??

Building an airplane with our friends

Crash and Joshua got to go to Lowes today to build an airplane. They seemed to have fun and I know my kids have really enjoyed taking them places. They will be missed when they go home.

Our Nature Day With The Travelers

 Nature Walk!!! Joshua loved to climb the trees, though it was a bit hard with that surf board. We had fun, at Falling Creek Park today. We took alot more pictures but no way was I posting them all up here lol. I will put them in journals though. We made bark rubbings, had a picnic and visited the Rivers cemetary. Those were early Florida settlers of this area.

This area is also on the travels of Desoto in his search for gold and glory so long ago.

 Crash enjoyed some shade on a very hot day.

While you cannot see them very well the travelers are standing in front of a general store from the 1890's. Nature, history and fun all in one park day.

Crash and Josh's week with us

Well this week the travelers have been hanging around doing school with us. We are learning about sharks and plan on disecting a dogfish shark next week so the travelers have had fun learning about the sharks. Joshua is a little worried about surfn now though. Crash really don't seem too concerned as he says he can just drive off.

On Saturday we will be building a wooden airplane at Lowes so the kids have been reading a little flight history. We have also been using my paper airplane book to make a few planes. Josh enjoyed his ride on the Eagle and Crash was O.K. with the Dragon.

Joshua the surf'n dude has finally reached us!

Well, Fox's Hawaii buddy finally arrived! It's a surfin dude he said lol. We had alot of plans for the cultural center until the rain came so hopefully next weekend. Joshua is already meeting up with his fellow travelin friend Crash and has told Fox he is very excited to have a friend who can carry his surf board!!

Little Man Foxy is about to head out

Foxs bags are packed and he is ready to go to Hawaii!! This is his first trip since we stopped doing this a few years ago and he is so looking forward to it!! I am just as excited to get our little visitor from Hawaii as well especially since he is coming from a wonderful family with an awesome homeschooling mom who makes great workbox cards!!
