Tyler left early Saturday morning for the National Youth Leadership Forum on Medicine in North Carolina. He was excited about this week and nervous at the same time. I mean...the clothing for the week really scares a boy who wears gym shorts and tshirts ALL.THE.TIME! It was a huge suitcase of business clothes...ekkKK!!
The younger girls went for a walk and found some pine cones that they quickly turned into bird feeders. I was proud of them for doing this craft all on their own. They just needed help hanging them after the made them!!!
On Tuesday, we met up with a group of homeschoolers at P'zazz Art Studio to paint Olaf! Corynne decided to paint today also. Colleen made me extremely nervous with the paint. This was her first time to paint her own canvas, and she had so much fun. She did a great job! The teacher did the outlining for her which "cleaned" up the painting quite a bit!
On Wednesday, we went to the first of a series of Space Labs using the littleBits kit. Today we constructed the wave generator. Then we played different songs on the MP3/iphone to see which song generated the best songs. Look closely at the waves in the milk in the picture. This was so cool to do! We also built the energy meter which gave a value to how much energy different electronics put off.
On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday Corynne competed in the State Team Tennis Tournament in Auburn. The team played some good matched, but the ended up in 3rd place for points. They had a great time despite the rain!
Another summer fun week has come to an end. The weeks are going by WAY.TO.FAST!
