Today, we had one of those Spring Break kind of days. Off to the dentist in the morning. Then we went to turn in projects at the Southern Arizona Regional Science Fair. Both Bailey and Wyatt were advanced from school competition to represent the school! So fun to see their work acknowledged and to see the encouragement and them reaching for more!
Wyatt gladly went through the express checkin(it looked like airline early check-in) and we found his assigned spot. Bailey had a lot more forms (human subjects, etc) to check in with the organizers, so it took a little more time.
Then she was all set up. Tomorrow she goes back for interviews. Wyatt and I haven't decided what we will do during that time, yet!
They had these life-sized cutouts of scientists around for decorations. One man was being silly getting his photo taken, so Bailey got in on the action! Marie Curie even had her SARSEF badge!
Aunt Priscilla always had a photo of this guy on the wall. No one believed he was smart. Einstein sure had his failures- and his triumphs. And he did what made him happy, and excelled at it! We thought Aunt Proscilla would have loved this shot!
Bailey finally got Wyatt into the action when she spied the Jane Goodall cutout.
Always cool to remember a great biologist who worked with animals, and always great to remember that life isn't about you, but the work and the why you do it.
Sure, we did allergy shots today. And some of the really stressful aspects of life are sure still there. But the joy is there, too. And we took Auntie Leanna ice cream today, had a great chat. While we were doing chores, I looked up and saw a new neighbor- a writer. very cool! Yup, life, in the middle of the crazy, is still good. Be you!
