Grandpa Hill, that’s me, Don tells this story for his children, his grandchildren, and all children.  The 6 Hills go to bed on a summer night in Savage Minnesota determined to not watch the TV anymore.  This drastic change in their life was preparation to start homeschooling in the fall.

It was Friday night. It was 1989. In just 11 hours, Saturday animation would be no more.  The TV was in the closet!

In the morning Grandpa wakes and soon sounds the alarm to Grandma, the children are missing!

This unexpected start to their homeschooling days was a clear sign to them that replacing TV time with family time and great activities, was the best choice, a key opening the door to their success with their eight children being taught in their home.
