Say what????

We just returned from a trip to San Jose where Jake competed in the State finals for Destination Imagination. It has been a lot of preparation and a lot of fun and today was no exception. Their skit was FANTASTIC! They did a great job and enjoyed every minute of it, including some impromptu additions. They are a wonderful group of kids. Anyway, we joked that we didn't want them to win at the regional level because we didn't want to have to practice more and then drive all the way to San Jose for the state finals. Well, they won first at regionals which is how we ended up in San Jose today. We then set our hopes at getting third place at State so the kids would medal, but not advance to globals in Tennessee...well, they outdid themselves and won first place today! Those kids are animals! Now how in the world are we going to work out Tennessee? It is expensive...about $1250 per person. It would be so much fun but there are lots of logistics involved...what to do, what to do...

Either way, great job guys! WE are proud of you!!!!
