Summer Catch-Up

This poor blog has been a bit neglected lately. Oh well! Here’s a bit about what’s been going on in our house lately.

Calder's Reflections entry made it all the way to the top of the state-wide competition. It's now part of an exhibit at The Leonardo, a very cool museum in SLC.

Because his art is part of the exhibit, he got a free summer pass to the museum. We got a family pass and have really enjoyed going there. Lots of hands-on science, math, art, and engineering activities.

Amelie's been having fun as a Brownie. We're working on badges over the summer and then in the fall she'll be a Junior!
