Okay so I am a week behind on getting these pictures posted----oops! Payton had a blast at Camp Invention last week at her new school. She created some really neat inventions and learned so much in such a short amount of time.

On the school front---school starts August 25th. We will be in Lake Chelan that week (shame on me for not being such a good mom in making vacation plans during "summer break") so she will start after Labor Day (I am still on a Montessori schedule in which school officially starts there!!). We find out who her teacher is on the 18th and will do a meet and greet on the evening of the 21st. She is really excited. I'm still nervous about sending her on the school bus, which I know is totally pathetic. BUT, I'm sure I'm not the first mom with this anxiety!! Such a change; makes me cherish the time I have left before school starts with them. Lake Chelan will be a BLAST!!!!!!!

This is their rover for the Mars module

This is her invention---"The Fish House 3000"

"Sludge City" They built an imaginary city that needed some cleaning up (and learned about recycling and "going green" in the process).
