Social butterfly.… Day 536 04MAY10

Joshua started off today with his teacher and did his spelling test first thing. He got 19 out of 20 right and I was thrilled. He managed to retain what we worked on and do well on his test. As soon as we were done with school we went with Renee's mom to get Jarrod some new shorts because his old shorts have mysteriously shrunk… We were also looking for some new Crocs for Joshua but could not find any in his size and choice of color. We will keep looking.

This afternoon it was off to the Children's Cancer Center for tutoring. Joshua worked on his spelling homework and did well. He seems to really like the tutoring so far which is great. Next we had to attend to his social engagements for the evening starting with drinks ands appetizers on the 42nd floor of the Bank of America building in the Tampa Club. It was an event sponsored by Max who is one of the candidates for Man of the Year. It was the highest that either of the boys have ever been outside of an airplane and the elevator ride up had both their eyes big. The view was exceptional and although Jarrod is a little afraid of heights he enjoyed looking at the "ant" people down below.

Madison and her mom were also in attendance both the kids helped MAx draw tickets for the raffle prizes of the evening. Next was a pretty good jaunt north to Odessa to support Erin's event at the International Beer Garten. If you like beer this place is totally beer heaven. Erin is a candidate for Woman of the Year. Joshua had pizza and then helped Erin draw tickets out for all the cool prizes she was raffling off.

He also got to listen to Julie Black who is a nationally known blues singer do her thing. In between sets he got an autographed copy of her latest album. After the evening's fun it was a pretty long drive back home but we were really glad that we could help support the candidates and be a part of their fund raising efforts.
