I am in Palm Coast (still a long drive, I know) & my ds is 9. What does your ds like to do? Mine is into marine animals, building toys, arts/crafts (he loves origami!). He also likes to play Lego games on the Wii. And he swims in his cousins' pool a lot. He has 2 older sisters & the neighbors are mostly girls so he misses his school buddies in the summer.
If they have any common interests, it might be worth meeting in Daytona or somewhere... PM me if you want to try to get together.

When you're curious, you find lots of interesting things to do. Walt Disney
