Mason
A few months ago Mason was offered the opportunity to attend the Environmental Studies Summer Camp in Stuart along with his cousins Tanner and Bryce. It is a day camp where the boys would take boat trips, seine in the Indian River, fish, cast net and maintain an aquarium. The boys would attend the camp during the day and spend the nights with their aunt and uncle who live on the inlet.
As you can see below, the week was a total success! The three boys had a great time and are already planning to do it all over again next summer. That is of course, if their aunt and uncle will have them again. Thanks Jim and Sharon! It was an awesome experience the boys will never forget.

Mackenzie
A quick last minute decision was made to fly Mackenzie to Atlanta to visit family. She spent the week in Atlanta and Kingsport, Tennessee with her cousin Taylor (Tanner's sister). I think the girls enjoyed being alone for the week without the boys there to bother them. Of course they had my brother, Derek, to cater to their every wish. Thanks, Derek! Mackenzie had a fantastic time and would do it all over again including the delayed flight home :)

Darin and I
Say, what? Both kids gone for the week. This never happens. Unfortunately, Darin had to work but we were able to sneak away to Key Largo for a night. We stayed at an awesome resort, enjoyed a 2 1/2 hour snorkeling excursion off John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park and ate at decilious seafood restuarants.
