Aerospace Camp Update

Today is day 3 for Emma at her Aerospace camp in Seattle. I don't have any pictures to post since she wouldn't let me attend with her! She said that I was too old! So I'll fill you in on what's she's doing this week.

I know that she is having a blast! She is staying at Grammie's house for the week in Seattle. I went up with her on Sunday and stayed until Tuesday. Grammie and I dropped her off Monday morning. Both of us were almost in tears by the time we left. Our big girl is off to all day camp! So to help us feel better... we went shopping! :-) Now I am home thinking how quiet it is here!

Robert and I are so excited for Emma. This is such a great experience for her that she'll never forget! She will get to experience all kinds of things that we never will be able to!

Here is her schedule for the week:

Monday - She met a helicopter pilot and got to tour the helicopter. They learned about the motions and controls of planes. She also learned how to write secret messages. She came home so excited but exhausted too!

Tuesday - She got to go on a tour of the King County International Airport at Boeing Field. Here she got to tour the airport Fire Department! She also got to see the fire trucks that are there! Robert was SO jealous that he didn't get to do this!

Wednesday - Today they get to tour the Great Gallery at the museum. They are going to focus on the MD-21 Blackbird.

Thursday - They are going to go to the planetarium and talk about the stars. They will get to make their own rockets in the afternoon.

Friday - She gets to tour the first presidential jet! They will also talk about how this plane was used as a spy plane!

Then Friday afternoon, there will be a ceremony. What a week!

Maybe I'll get a few pictures to post at some point! That is if she lets me! :-)

Sammy April 15, 1998 - February 20, 2014 Sammy was quite the cat. He was the king of the house for sure. Mac the 67 lb Boxer was afraid of him. He knew how to get what he wanted. He was a butter eating crazy cat. He lived a good life with lots of changes. From a cross country move to the arrival of a new man (Robert) to the birth of a child (Emma) to the adoption of a four legged brother (Mac). Yet through it all he knew he was king. I miss him lots but am happy for the time we had together.

Emma is going to Summer Hummer again this year and is having a blast! Summer Hummer has got to be one of the largest vacation bible schools this side of the Mississippi. There are about 900 kids ages 5 - 12 at this all day VBS. The kids have SO much fun and are completely exhausted by the end of the week! They get to learn and talk about God all while they are having a blast! Here is her group this year. She has 4 of her friends in her group with her! Caroline, Annah & Ryan are in the front with her. Her other friend Josie is standing on the rock in the back on the right. They always do a silly picture too! :-) This picture made me SO proud! She was always afraid to do this but this year she decided to do it! Yeah!! Well that's it for now. Tonight is the big family finale. We will go eat and play with the kids. All of the activities will be open - zip line, bounce houses, water slides, Go Karts, rock wall, etc! Then the kids will perform their songs for the parents! I'll se...

Day 4 - Blast Off Camp

Today at camp Emma got to tour the brand new planetarium at the museum. She said it was pretty cool. Then they had lunch and made a map after lunch. And that was about it! Though I think there was more that they did, she just can't remember! But it does make me thankful that I homeschool because I know what she does all day! She did say that she wishes she could go for another week! Well that's good! I guess she doesn't miss us too much!
