Happenings with Benjamin

It was really fun to take Benjamin to California. From the time we got on the airplane and arrived in LA, it was a new adventure for him. We began by taking him to the Ronald Regan Museum in Simi Valley north of Los Angeles and then the next day he was able to visit Disney Land. The weather was great and the park wasn't crowded. On Wednesday, I had serveral ministry visits to do so Benjamin and Janey went to the Richard Nixon Museum since we were staying right in Yorba Linda. On Thursday we were able to take Benjamin to LegoLand and he really enjoyed it the most because it was build specifically for kids and they can enjoy the simplicity of the park and as parents, we enjoyed the many park benches that they had so we could rest along the way. We are very grateful for the family that gave us the tickets to go to these parks; it was a great blessing.

Benjamin is doing very well in his schoolwork, he has 4 chapters done on all 5 of his subjects and doesn't seem to have any difficulty with any of the subjects even though he is a grade ahead for his age. He is enjoying AWANA and will participate in the Bible Quiz competetion next week and he also plays Upward Basketball each week as well. It is much harder for him in basketball now because they have a 10' basket and the defense can steal the ball off of the dribble.
