Stepping Off The Track

CO, NYC, Chicago, Dominica, Fl, Vermont and NOW staying put for awhile in LA!
We have 2 boys, who are homeschooled, and like all parents we want to support any passions we see arise. Well, they both have a passion to perform. Our older son Keean, on a crazy whim auditioned and got a role in the Broadway Musical "Billy Elliot"! So we sold almost everything (house included) and left our fantastic 15yrs in Colorado and headed to the BIG APPLE! We have been on the move ever since and consider ourselves an everyday family embracing life the best we know how. We tend to do things a little against the grain, but learning all we can along the way! Here's to sticking together as a family and creating an amazing adventure along the way!

The Worse BLOGGER!

Okay, it is official. I am the worse blogger. Week after week I think of things to write then I let them slide and soon to be forgotten forever. So my new thing is to Blog more.

Let's hope I can stick to it.

This week:  Boys and I traveled up north to wine country, where Mark is on business, to join him for a few days. The beauty of homeschooling is that we can just up and go whenever we want. So we did. Great time and beautiful day, but KJ and Cade are total city boys now and although they can appreciate a small town, they sure love big cities! We went for a nice walk around the lake, searched for a "hike" which ended up being not so nice but were able to skip a few rocks along the river, see several dead animals, and some old car parts dumped in the river(no comparison to our lush hikes in Dominica) but an experience nonetheless and time spent together is always an "adventure". We then made it to a few thrift stores which we call "treasure shops" and found a pack of coasters and 2 great books for $2 then headed back for The Ellen Show in the hotel(we do not have TV so we love to catch her show when we can) Then pool time where the boys beat the heck out of each other and call it fun????  I had a relaxing moment in the hot tub with my head just below the water so I could block out the dulcet tones of boys wrestling ....AWWWWW.
