The kids caught the Independence Day parade in Geneva, Fla. They dodged candy being thrown from the floats, but are glad they caught it. They’re eating it now. So am I.

The Elliott kids visited the Audubon Center for Birds of Prey in Maitland, Fla., where they got close (but not too close) to the eagles, ospreys and owls.

The Elliott kids can’t get enough of speed. After racing golf carts last weekend, they graduated to the next level: go carts!

Aren goes into the bay to look for critters in the sea grass at Cedar Point Environmental Park. There are plenty for him and some friends to scoop up and show off to Erysse and Iden.

No cars are allowed at Palm Island Resort — but they have golf carts. And they go fast. The kids took one for a joyride.

We went looking for Jaws at America’s shark attack capital, New Smyrna Beach, Fla. And we found plenty of them — in the gift shop near the beach.

Aren, Iden and Erysse visited the Mayan Courtyard at the Maitland Art Center. Not shown is Iden falling into the fountain. We decided to keep that out of this video. After all, he has an image to uphold.

They added a new splash pool in Trottwood Park. Iden checked it out.

Kerr City, Florida, was abandoned a long time ago — or was it? Aren, Iden and Erysse found that there are still people there (and you can even rent a cabin).

Good thing everyone was gone for summer recess when Erysse and her brothers visited Rollins College in Winter Park, Fla., today. The screams would have distracted everyone from their studies. (Erysse has a few years before she leaves for college, fortunately.)
