September

Lots of fun new things in September!  Archery class, lego robotics, a trip to Orlando for Maker Faire, and *gasp* a teenager.

It's all fun and games until someone thwaps their arm with a bowstring.

Reenactment of a real trial in a historical courthouse.  The kiddos chose to be jury members.

Orlando Trip.  Ahhh, a week in a house with a private pool and game room.  And a few days consorting with diy scientists and artists.  So much fun!  Nobody wanted to come back.

The car gets crowded with family, luggage, pigglies, and dog.

Glad to be home.

Lock picking at Maker Faire

Having a pool at the house we rented was fantastic!  Good spot to wear everyone out.

Lots of things to make and try at the Maker Faire

Demonstration on electricity.  Bug got to be part of the human conductivity chain.  He loves audience participation shows.

The hamster wheel snow cone maker. :)  Good workout and a lot of fun; plus you get a reward at the end. 

Our birthday girl.  She's been a fantastic kiddo and will make a wonderful teenager.

13!

Ramen for dinner, mochi for dessert.

The requested birthday activity!  Fun for all of us.
