Boys at Play

James and Tommy are part of a group called ECHO Rangers. It's a program in the area we live in that has activities set up to do in the county we live. We took advantage of one that was a self guided thing. We went to the DeBary Mansion and walked around the grounds. It was cool to see the old ice house and where the current ground keeper lives. There was a place to play for a minute so of course we had to stop to play.  I got some great pictures of the boys!!!

I love the sheer glee hi his face!! I want a rope swing so I can see this face every day!!!

I swear he gets older every day. I mean I know he does, but he is starting to look it.

Tim... really.... can you have a more mischievous look?? He is always up to something I just never seem to know what that is. 

I love these days of childhood I love seeing them grow and having these days with them. People have asked why I home school.... this is part of it. I get the best part of their day. I get to see them at their best.  And enjoy it with them.

Manatees

 The husband was at an Upper Cervical conference so I hitched up and took the boys to Blue Springs to see the manatees. It was actually really cool!! Manatees are huge animals and they really don't do anything. They hang out in Blue Springs during the winter because it's warmer. They hang out with the alligators, and we even saw two of them laying together.

We took a walk to the end of the spring and was able to get a picture of the 5 of us.

It's fun to hang out with the boys and I'm so happy that they are up for anything. I'm so glad that they love being outside and running wild.
