I’m really excited about our newest and biggest trip. What my Mom said about the zip lining, I’ve been saying we should do that for years.

For weeks, I’ve been finding Central American travel books on her dresser with titles like Exploring Panama! and Costa Rica! The Best Things to See and Do. In response to questioning, she said that she just thought that they would be fun to read. There were at least four different books.

Something was up. But with all my activities (I’m probably the biggest contributor to Mom’s “whirlwind of activities”;  I do two sports, three bands, one choral group, and piano lessons plus homework and instrument practice), Mom’s sudden interest in reading lots of Central American books was at the back of my mind. Even when I was suspicious, I would never have imagined eleven weeks! About not wanting to go on trips, that’s never going to happen.

Nadia and I will be doing blog posts as part of our homeschooling. My previous blog posts have contained excessive use of the word awesome, but I hope to make better posts this trip. THE BROOKSES BETTER TAKE GOOD CARE OF LACEY (my chicken)!
