Super Saturday!

Wow! Kyle's team took 3rd! This is what they wanted. If they would have taken 2nd they would have went to Knoxville, TN for nationals. Very expensive. The kids were thrilled. There were 16 teams in his division and they only missed 2nd by 3 points. His coach was so very proud of them.

Kyle's on the right. The "problem" they had to do was research 2 different art forms and Morph them into one. They chose (with no parental help) architecture and culinary arts. Kyle is the assistant to the chef.

A large part of the problem is building a structure to hold as much weight as possible. The bottom had to fit a 7x7" block and the insides could not touch the block. The top had to be smaller and had to fit over the pole you see. There is a second piece with the same qualifications. It also can not weigh more that 30grams or for those of you who don't know, no more than the weight of 30 paperclips. That is why the building Kyle is standing in front of looks like it does. Our structure held 160#.

Clay had his first soccer game. It was more of a practice because it was the first day. Bill said he had a nice save and he really likes it.

Cole had to work today and I guess he really had to work hard. Hey put those muscles to use. He's playing trivia tonight.

Bill sold the big black van and is excited to get it gone. Now he can use the money to fix the truck he bought and pay Cole back the money he borrowed for it.

What a wow of a day!
