Uncle Johnny and Aunt Amy
Dad took us out to Uncle Johnny's -- Dad's oldest brother.
Uncle Johnny and Aunt Amy. They've been married 42 years. Wow!
We had a great time visiting them. Amy showed Jordan pictures of her great, great, great Grandmother and Grandfather. I learned that I have family in Mexico - The Schofners. They weren't able to make a living in TN so they moved to Mexico and got into the banking business. Interesting.
Jordan's First Motorcycle Ride
It was a beautiful Fall day in TN when Dad surprised Jordan with a motorcycle ride. Note how tall she has gotten. Her head was too big to fit inside Miss Elly's helmet so she had to wear one of Dad's --LOL !
Here we see Dad explaining the rules of the road...
still explaining......
still explaining......
still explaining ... geesh, Dad, we get it : Hold On and Don't crowd you -- she gets it !
Finally Jordan is on the bike !!
About this time, Jordan said to Dad "This is like a mo-ped"......
And here Dad said, "I'll show you mo-ped" .... I think I heard her scream !! LOL
Pee Paw & Miss Elly
Boo, Oreo and I went to TN to visit family. The last time I set foot in TN was .... 5 or 6 years ago. GEESH! We had a great time with Dad and Elaine. Oreo had a great time with Olivia and all the cats !
A True Teen ...
Jordan is a true teenager. Look closely, she's talking to me while texting her dad in one hand AND has her bff on speaker phone in the other -- LOL !
Oh, and the outfit ... look at the outfit ! Yep, she's a true teen !

CARVERS B.E.S.T. Booth
Ok, considering I'm a parent of a CARVER student .... I may be a little biased as to which booth I thought was the best !!!
But, really, CARVER's was great !! They had pictures on the walls hi-lighting the process of creating their robot...
answered the judges questions about the process, materials, marketing, specs, and design of their robot...
included the B.E.S.T national org missions and purpose via power point display...
and handed out free give aways to passerbys ....
including "fan" posters to use during the matches !!!
Awesome !!
B.E.S.T Booth Competition
Not only do the teams compete with their robots, they also gets points for their booths ! Each team had to complete a booth that depicted their robot and mission.....
Each school did a great job. I know first hand all the hard work and committment each kid / parent put into this !! Great job !
Wiregrass B.E.S.T. Competition Day !!!
Today is the day !! The day where all the Wiregrass B.E.S.T teams compete in the robotics match to see who goes to state competition!! The parking lot was FULL !
As soon as we walked in, Jordan was whisked away and helped into her "uniform"!
