We started the week with a trip to the Bruneau sand dunes. Despite the campfire, there was no camping involved. We stayed until the sun went down and then packed up and went to the observatory. There was a nearly full moon, so poor visibility, but we were able to see Saturn, rings and all. So cool!
This week’s math involved fractions at a donut shop and Life.
Reading.
Silas built Legos and played Tenzi. We continue our slow march through Idaho history. I’m sure there’s a way to rotate this image, but Silas is just about to get out of the bath so I’ll figure it out later. We’re working on comparing brain size to body size. Pretty proud of myself for finding the avg brain size of red pandas and siamangs.
Two Girl Scout events: a regular meeting (Abby pictured performing a Leave No Trace skit for the Daisies), and a cold and wet, but v. interesting, Council event at a new park dedicated to Arthur Foote, who figured out how to irrigate the Treasure Valley, and his wife, Mary Hallock Foote, who was a well-established illustrator on the East Coast until her husband dragged her out West.
Another Girl Scout event from two weeks ago–a coding class for the Digital Game Design badge.
On Monday, Abby and Chris went to the Apple store for an iMovie class–totally free, and so much fun!
