Tidepool
I took Skyler to south beach Boca today after preschool, while Manny and Shayna went out fishing on the boat (she had a half day). It was a really nice day, warmer than normal for January (according to the parents I talked to who have lived here a long time). There was a really nice big tidepool and Skyler had a blast playing in it:

The girls left, and like magic a brother and sister appeared and played with Skyler. David, age 5, was snorkeling in the tidepool. How cute, double click on the photo:
David and his sister, Lauren, age 6. Skyler really wanted to use her blue shovel, so she was nice and used his purple shovel. Lauren is in kindergarten at Addison Mizner (the other elementary school I was/am considering, its more east).
Later, 2 brothers, Jonas, age 5, and Luca, age 3 arrived and enjoyed the tidepool and some boogie boarding. Skyler and I had met them about a week before, the last time we were at south beach. Jonas knows Lauren from Addison Mizner, not sure if they are in the same K class or not. Notice the tide is coming into the tidepool.
we stayed until the sky started turning pink, then all three parents and kids left the beach at the same time.
when we first got there, there were 2 little girls, Anna, age 7 and Madeleine, age 3 (4 in march). Anna is in 1st grade at Del Prado (same as Shayna). I was talking to thier mom, Susan, about the preschool that I will probably be sending Skyler to in the fall for his pre-K year, the Professional Learning Center. Her daughter Anna went there for pre-K and she thinks that Madeleine may go there in the fall for pre-K also. So they may be in school together for pre-K. I was glad I met her, as I have not met anyone with personal experience with the school, and she said it was very good. We were discussing the "pre-K plus" program, which is more hours per day than just the VPK program. The state pays for what is called VPK- voluntary pre kindergarten, but the catch is they only pay for 3 hours per day and/or about $2500/year. So if you want the 4.5 hour class you pay a little extra after they subtract the state money from tuition.
