TSA Regional Competition

Blake got to attend his first TSA competition this weekend. It was in our school district at The Berry Center. He entered the go-cart that he has been working on. It is actually just the frame for the go-cart. He can't manage to talk us into paying for an engine and seat. However, Blake's project won Second place! He now gets to attend the state competition May 8-10 in Waco, TX. He'll be able to make some improvements on the go-cart before State.

Blake's go-cart. Those are the high school projects in the back.

Over Easter weekend, we took a camping trip to Stephen F. Austin State Park. It was much closer to home than we realized. We had the chance to visit the historical portion of the park as well. The lady who is the tour guide really knew her Texas history! She was full of stories and we learned a lot. We had a good time at the park exploring the trails. Maddy went along with us and as always, was a good dog. She had the opportunity to see a racoon. Luckily, it was from a distance. We left just in time on Sunday to beat the bad weather. It was well worth packing up the night before so that we had little to do to leave on Sunday.

Now, it is back to work and school. Kendall and I counted the weeks before school is out. I think we have about 7 1/2 weeks left. Only one more break in sight. Memorial Day!
