Big, big day at our house! Calvin ran in the Junior Olympic State Championship today with his cross country team. He ran 1500 meters in a time of about 9 minutes. He placed 7 out of 8 but got a medal because the top 10 in each age group got a medal. He was so excited and loved every minute of it! Josh loved it too because he got to help out, relive his own cross country days and do it all in the same location that he used to run in Ft. Wayne! Tabitha had her Lego League competition today which they have been working towards for months. Her team designed and built a robot out of Lego's with nanotechnology and discussed its possible applications to biomedical engineering and cochlear implants. Wow! Pretty impressive. The competition was against 28 other teams in grades 2 through 8 and lasted for about 6 hours with various rounds demonstrating how their robots could perform various tasks. Taba's team placed 22nd. She had a great time and was very proud of their robot. My sister and her family were here visiting so that Quincy and my niece, Penny, could also spend the day on Purdue's campus at their Fall Space Day. This was a program for 600 interested kids aged 3rd through 8th grade where they heard from astronauts and participated in various activities to learn all about space and how things fly. They thought it was fantastic and couldn't wait to tell us all about everything they did. Max got to stay home with his other two cousins and play all afternoon so he had a great time too. Very fun but we're all exhausted...
