A couple of weeks ago now (my, how time flies) Isaac was in the state Destination Imagination Tournament. In a nutshell, DI is a chance for kids to hone their creative problem solving skills. Isaac's team's challenge was to write a skit that showed how an animal - they chose cats - communicates. They've been working on it for months. Isaac's had a lot of fun. His team came in third at regionals so they got to go to the state championships, where they also placed third.
It was a beautiful day on the day of the tournament and we'd brought the whole family to a high school in Kingston, NH, so we spent some time outside on the athletic field running around. That's where the pictures of Anna are from.
I took part in my very first cake walk that day. I think this must be an American thing -- the cake walk -- because I had never heard of it before but it seems like everything we go to here has a cake walk. (for those in the dark, you walk around in a circle with a group of other people and whoever lands on the right number wins a cake) At the DI cake walk, they were also giving out cakes for creative dancing. We didn't win anything during our first cake walk, but I coached Joey a little (you're a cute kid Joey! you can totally win this thing if you just try!) and sure enough he won a cake! I wish I had a picture of his face when they announced him as a winner! It was so cute.

Congratulations to Joey for winning the cake, Isaac for being a great looking cat and Anna for eating a twig, just like Thomas!
Wow, what an adventure!
