Earl and Jean Eidem - And Kids - Came For The Boston College Weekend

The Earl and Jean (Santore) Eidem Family at the volleyball game

One of the nice things about living in Florida - and Tallahassee in particular - is that people come to visit. Florida State University is currently on a 28 game football winning streak. The volleyball and soccer teams are also ranked in the top 10 and heading into the NCAA playoffs.

Earl and Jean were my 7th grade students 30 years ago. We lost touch - but thanks to Facebook - we are found. They have 3 kids that are pretty grown - and now have adopted 3 siblings. They have lived in Crestview - about 100 miles west of us for a few years. Now they are considering a move back to the Valley. They want the little ones to experience life in the hills of Pennsylvania. 


Before they went north - I wanted the kids to experience a few things in their state capital and at their state university. 

They arrived Friday evening in time for supper on campus and a volleyball game with Clemson. Then on Saturday - we fought off some rain with a visit to the state museum - and some rain coats for the game. It rained most of the football game - but FSU gave them a victory. They left for home Sunday after breakfast.

That was a really high 5

We are really happy we got those raincoats

All smiles - FSU beat Boston College
