Joshua's Trip to Florida

When each of our children turns 10, we let him/her go on a trip alone to Florida to visit Grandma and Grandpa.  This year was Joshua's turn to go.  Here he is looking out the window, as his plane approaches the gate.

On the plane and ready to go.

His plane backing up from the gate.

Once in Florida, game time is a nightly happening....lots of fun!

Time to snuggle with Snoopy.

What a privilege for our children to get to know a GREAT grandparent!

TV time in Grammie's room.

Workshop time with Grandpa.

Watch out for that Florida wild life!

There's always time for some work too!

What a creation!

Joshua got to go fishing while in Florida....good catch!
