The Faire!

So, we had a great deal of fun at the Renaissance Faire. I got a crown, which I love. Lisa got her hair braided this year, and Tim finally found a green cloak. He was very excited. I also found some beautiful Celtic jewlery. It was nice to get out and do something fun.

Math PEOPLE

So we have come to the end of the PEOPLE summer session. It has been a crazy three weeks, but certainly enjoyable. And the teachers that I worked with this summer were a lot of fun. Thought you would like to meet them.

Expeditions in Sailing

Since my camera actually did work for this part...

The Camera Battery just HAD to die...

So we went sailing today. It was amazing amounts of fun. I'll be posting pictures as soon as my camera battery charges. Because, of course, it had to die just when the real fun started.



We had arrived safely back to land and were putting away the sails when quite suddenly the ground that had previously been under my feet no longer was. I'm quite thankful that our pier is built over rocks instead of over water. Otherwise when I fell through it I would have landed in a large quantity of extremely cold water. Instead I just managed to wedge myself in between the two broken pieces of the pier. Took some finagling to get me out. Sadly, because my camera had only moments before declared its inability to take any more pictures, I do not have photographic evidence of this. It would have been hilarious.

I'll leave it up to your imaginations...

P.S. Wedging yourself in between two pieces of a broken pier really hurts. I'm expecting my entire leg to be black and blue in the morning.

Experiments in Sailing

The teachers I have been working with spent the afternoon testing their math skills by racing sailboats of their own creation. There were quite a few interesting, not to mention hilarious, things that resulted from this. Enjoy the pictures.
