Robot Camp

Jacob went to a 4H camp where he got to play with robots. They programmed them to follow a maze, follow lines, find its way out of a box, and to "dance" to music using computer programs. They got to use GPS too to hide and find things at the fairgrounds outside. It was lots of fun. Glad he understood it, I never would have.

4th of July

This makes 20-21 years that we've celebrated the 4th in Morrison Park in Coralville. We've begun to streamline a bit, egg casseroles, sausage, fruit, coffee. This year the 4th was on a Sunday so Tim Burden brought his guitar and we had a little worship service, nice! We lucked out on no rain during the parade until we went back for fireworks. We ended up at Smiths to eat and the Cupps came and brought Jenna, their new baby from China! We also got Blake back. he's been overseas for 6 weeks and we are glad he's back! We did get to go back and see the fireworks and play a little soccer, just no wiffleball this year cause it was dark already, bummer. We missed you if you weren't there, we were thinking of you!
