Not Yet Back to School Party!

We had a great time at the homeschoolers' Not Yet Back to School Party! We are planning on starting our school year next week (Tuesday) after having our first rehearsal for a Christmas play the homeschoolers will be performing in December. My friend Michelle Best is director, and Noah has already asked her if he can have the part of Christmas Future! He would only have one line, but he'd get plenty of stage time :)

Anyway, here are some photos of the kids on the diving board at Cape Coral Yacht Club pool. We were the only group that was there, since all the traditionally-schooled kids were cooped up in the classroom...




Noah was a bit squeamish when it came to jumping far from the diving board, although he did touch the bottom quite a few times- 10ft 9in!





Elena took a while to convince that the diving board was fun, but once she jumped that's all she did the rest of the day!





Gabe was the first to try the boards. He, as usual, was fearless and even tried a few cannonballs!




Annalee has an issue with getting her face wet, so she opted out of the diving board fun. Instead, she and her friend Sara snitched some chocolate cookies from the picnic area :)

I think this picture says it all! Our group of homeschoolers is goofy and fun! We had a great time, and us moms even got turns on the diving boards. THOSE pictures are safely hidden.

We are supposed to have a story in the Sunday paper, as a reporter stopped by to take pictures and interview the moms. She got a good picture of me and Gabe, so I'll be checking for our mugs in print!

Here's a serious one (except for Gabe!). What a great bunch!
