You can’t win them all – Spelling Bee results
Unfortunately this year’s spelling bee did not end in Atom or Marie’s favor. Atom did not place but received the spelling bee medal for participation. Marie got third place and came home with a third place trophy.
Marie got eliminated with the word “oxygen” where she missed the letter “y”
Atom was eliminated with the word “arranged” where he missed the second “r”.
Although they did feel down after school they are looking forward to next year!
Spelling Bee minutes away
The 2014 PCS spelling bee is about 20 minutes away. We’re super nervous for the kids. We had a good breakfast at Denny’s. Jackie and I have front row seats. Good luck Marie and Atom!!!!
Atoms first day at the 1st MRLL baseball academy
Atom had a great outing at the MRLL 1st Baseball Academy.
Next level in Lego building
Marie and Atom built their first robot Lego kit, Mindstorms EV3 TRACK3R. They built it in about 3 hours while watching the movie Steve Jobs and some goofing around in between. They even programmed the IR controller.
The next step is to create programs to automate it.
Back from the mission of the Missions
Two nights in Monterey and 758 miles later we are finally home. We arrived at 11:30pm.
No getaway without Barnes & Nobles
We stopped by the Barnes and Nobles in Ventura for book shopping with our Christmas B&N gift cards. The bookstore itself is one of the best looking from the outside. I ended up with two Physics related books and one computer security book. All of which I’ve seen before at other B&Ns but left behind. Thanks for Jackie and the kids for brig patient for waiting during my book browsing time.
