Florida Home School Convention






The girls and Coleman worked at the convention with us most of Friday and Saturday. They did a great job. Madison and Kerri were so good at handing out catalogs that we had to hold them back so we wouldn't run out. Stephanie and Taylor were great at explaining WriteAtHome to parents interested in finding out how it works. The convention was very good, and we couldn't have done it without the girls help. Here's a few pictures of the girls at the booth before we started on Saturday morning.

MGM Pictures--LOTS of them, again!

Here's Brian on the tram on the way into MGM.
The Tower of Terror was our first stop. Although not pictured below, both Taylor and Kerri also rode this thrilling ride.








Thing 1, Thing 2, Thing 3, Thing 4, and Thing 5?? This photo was Mickey's idea. He arranged the girls and jumped in with his 5 fingers.
We all enjoyed the Beauty and the Beast show.


I don't know what it is about Brian, but he was part of the stunt show in MGM. There are more pictures below, I can't figure out how to move this one down.











LOTS of Pictures from Epcot--original title, huh?

We ate lunch in France. It was delicious! Coleman tasted her first escargot as did Madison. The French Onion Soup was very good. So was everything else.























We started making a movie at each country we visited. Brian, of course, insisted on speaking in the accent of the country we visited. He never could figure out a good Norwegian accent.

LOTS of Pictures from Magic Kingdom

A ride on the monorail into the Magic Kingdom. Look at those smiling faces!


Pretzles and Churros!














A Friendly Family Competition on the Buzz Lightyear Ride. Usually the family's WORST video game player, Melanie surprised everyone, including herself, by winning. Of course, she didn't tell anyone she had read the secret of doing well at the game in the Birnbaum book until it was too late to play another game.







Ice cream on Main Street.
