The Last Last Day at Jowonio
Six years of Luton kids at Jowonio. 35,280 miles driven to and from school, 24 teachers and teaching assistants, 3 classrooms, 522 lunches and snacks, an Enchanted Forest, a Pooh Corner, a Secret Garden, a Studio Rainbow, Trike Town, Gym, and Playground. Dozens of field trips including a few to our farm. Zip lines, ball pits, trampolines and water days. A hiking trail named Sarah's Path and the most incredible adaptive and accessible treehouse. Six art shows, 6 open houses and 6 Follies.
Countless hugs, a few tears and even more giggles. Immeasurable teachable moments, opportunities seized to show my kids that there's a spot for everyone at the playground, the circle, the table and in the world. There's always a way.
This place has laid the foundation for not just inclusive education but an inclusive outlook on life. Six first days, 6 graduations and 6 last days. This was the last of the last. Thank you to Jowonio for taking care of our babies who are no longer babies for 6 years ❤️
Enchanted Forest Water Safari
It's where the fun never stops! Shortly after returning from Cape May, Reed and Willa spent a day at Enchanted Forest, riding the water slides and taking in a few amusement park rides.
Early Mornings in CMNJ
One of our favorite traditions is to wake up and wake across Beach Ave to take morning walks on the beach. It's always been one of the quietest times on the beach and the best time to race the waves, find shells (Reed was very happy to find "velociraptor claws") and see the view from the lifeguard towers. 
Riding the Waves in CMNJ
The surf was intense on our last day in CMNJ following a day of storms. This didn't deter Reed who was happy to ride the waves and even get some air occasionally! 
Cape May Lighthouse in CMNJ
One windy, rainy morning, we braved the elements to climb to the top of the Cape May Lighthouse. Reed was thrilled to stand out on the lookout deck while Willa was happier to stay inside!
