Alafia River Trip



A few weeks ago we took a canoe and kayak trip down the Alafia River. The trip took about 4 hours and we paddled approx. 12 miles. The boys each paddled the kayaks and Rob and I were in the canoe. We had a great time. The highlight for the boys was that every few miles or so, someone tied a rope swing in a tree close to the river. They had a blast swinging and out over the river and landing in the cool water. What a wonderful way to spend a Saturday afternoon!!














A boy, a rope swing and a river...it doesn't get much better than that!! Andrew takes a turn on the swing.

Sunshine State Games


Matthew shoots archery. He has been shooting for the past 4 years. He is unique because he shoots Bare Compound Bow, which means that he uses no sights or releases. He has competed in several archery tournaments in the past few years. This past June he shot in the Florida Sunshine State Games. He set a record the Field Division of the tournament breaking the record he set last year in the same event. He earned two gold medals one for Field and one for 3-D Targets. Go Matthew!!
