Native Americans and Really Big Stadiums

Yesterday morning, after an impromptu golf lesson with a friend, I headed over to the elementary school to help out the junior high teachers. They had been coaching the 8th grade class in how to write up a proper resume and cover letter, so the next step was to have them do mock interviews. I got to be one of the interviewers and really enjoyed getting to see these kids in a "professional" setting, describing their strengths and weaknesses and telling me a bit about themselves. An impressive group of kids! After play practice and track practice for Tabitha and Calvin, and Max's basketball camp at the high school, we all ran over to the school cafeteria where they were holding a banquet for the girls basketball team.

Tabitha got a nice certificate and trophy for being a member of this undefeated team. Very exciting!

In the middle of all of this, I received the new hardware for our kitchen cabinets and Josh very generously put it all up. I love the new look! You can see the old (white) pulls in this picture as well as the new (black). Josh also put up a new light fixture in our half bath. I'll get a picture of that soon!
Today, I spent the day with Calvin's sixth grade class. We all drove to Indianapolis where we were given a private tour of Lucas Oil Stadium. Wow! A pretty huge and high tech place - it can hold 73,000 people.

We got to see the visitor's locker room, the press box, some of the private suites, and the viewing balcony. Very fun. We then headed over to the Eiteljorg Museum.

This wonderful museum is full of information and exhibits about Native Americans. It is incredibly well done and we were given an excellent tour. After arriving back in Batesville, it was immediately time for French club followed by more play practice and track practice.

Josh has stepped up to be a part-time assistant coach with the track team. He is helping out by teaching the kids to run hurdles. He is really having a great time and both Tabitha and Calvin got over their initial embarrassment and are happy to have him there. Tabitha is running hurdles and relays while Calvin does the long jump, high jump and discus.
