World's Largest Logbook

Mason became a Young Eagle today and had his name permanently entered in the World's Largest Logbook!

38 years ago today...Happy Birthday Baby!

What do you get a guy who has the perfect wife and child? Easy, have him take his first vacation day in over a year, make him his favorite breakfast of bacon, eggs & fried potatoes, then head out for a midday round of putt putt golf.

The nice thing about putt putt is a 8 year old can and will beat the pants off his parents.

Then finish the afternoon off eating a delish lunch and b-day cake on the pier followed by a show of local surfers catching some waves!

How much can one owl eat?

Mason dissected and identified the contents of an owl pellet with some of his h'schl buddies today...his pellet contained the remains of a shrew and a rodent.

St Augustine...again

Can't help it, we adore St Augustine and when we had the opportunity to camp with some h'schl friends we jumped at the chance. Campground was Anastasia State Park. Now folks I have camped at some really outstanding parks but this one makes my top 3. The beach is breathtaking and just an all around beautiful place to stay. Can't wait to go back!

Jon & Mason atop Fort Matanzas, this was a first for us, we had never been to Fort Matanzas. What a best kept secret, we will go again.

Raising a well-rounded, self-sufficient man...

Mason has the part of Rabbi Levi in the latest Kids Klub production, "Bones" and he wanted to help make his costume. Sure thing! Sewing teaches a skill that all boys need in their repertoire.

Dog Days....

Mason has been patiently waiting for the new Wimpy Kid book to come out and we havn't heard a peep from him since he got his copy.

Violin

After requesting violin lessons for the past 5 years, Mason is now getting his wish and he started lessons with Miss Holly this month. According to her...he just may end up being pretty good at it too. See good things do come to those who wait!
