Where to next

Hi kids!

Today the teacher of our brood of first grade supporters issued an assignment to the class to write a letter to us with advice on where to go next. Here is the collective wisdom of the class:

"I think you should go to the closest island.  Stay warm."

"You should go to the big islands.  And you should go to different islands."

"I think you should go to Canada.  Be careful."

"I think you should go to a little island.  I think it is warm there."

"You should go to the island.  You guys should get past Florida."

"I hope you go to Hawaii to get warm.  I hope you don't go to any more cold places."

"I think you should make up your mind. I think you should go down to the tip of Florida."

"You guys could go back to Maine."

"I think you should turn around."

"You should go close to the equator.  Are you guys cold?"

"I think you should go at the very end of Florida.  Or you could go to China."

We have decided to take all the advice. We will head toward the equator, go to the end of Florida, visit big islands and small ones being careful to go to warm places. Next spring we will turn around and go to Maine and Canada then next year, Hawaii and China!  We will start by going to the closest island, Merritt Island near Cape Canaveral, tomorrow. 

Thanks, kids. Couldn't do this without you.
