Michael J Knapp and his wife Amber, were determined to home-school their children, Michael James Knapp, Jr. and Kim Rose. Because of this, they are able to teach their children anywhere, including on the family's recent trip to Hawaii. The children learned about local vegetation and fish and even went on a saltwater fishing trip and caught blue marlin, striped marlin, sailfish and yellowfin tuna. After the trip, Amber, Michael J Knapp and their children came home with a deeper appreciation of the ocean.
