And we have learned the value of time. They say time is the greatest gift one can give their children. Time is why we made the decision to quit our teaching jobs and join the ever-burgeoning ranks of homeschoolers; we were tired of spending more time with other parents' kids than with our own. So here we are - endeavering to spend as much time as we can with our precious children. Time is passing quickly. We can never go back. We can only take advantage of every moment we have. |

John Vogel (aka Dad) is the powerhouse of the family. He tirelessly captained a triple bike 9300 miles around North America, and will
soon be in charge of a tandem. John's passion (in addition to bicycling the world) is technology of all sorts, especially video editing and website design.
He's a classroom veteran with 20 years teaching experience under his belt. Most of those twenty years were spent in compter labs working with kids from
PreK all the way to High School. He also teaches Chemistry, Physics, and Math. |

Daryl Vogel is a voracious reader and we have a hard time keeping him in books. He is also an excellent soccer player. Daryl recently discovered swim team,
which is a great sport for him, given the fact that he resembles a shark in the water. Daryl's insatiable curiosity drives us all batty at times, but he also
drives us to learn more than we would otherwise. |

Nancy is also a long-time teacher. She boasts 21 years
in the classroom in all levels from Grade 1 through High School. Her favorite subject to teach is science - if it is a hands-on approach!
The banter between his brother and father, with Davy sandwiched in the middle, drove him batty while he rode the triple bike! But he says he still
loves hanging out with his family.
