As you can see, Morgan is allowed out of the studio every once in a while. Yesterday she took a tour of one of the area's "repair stations". That is as basic as I can put it, as it has a big fancy official name, but it is part of the military here in San Diego where helicopters and airplanes are fixed and refurbished to keep running as best as they can. The people that are involved in that process are top notch mechanical engineers.
We were fortunate enough to watch fireworks from aboard the SS Midway for he 4th of July celebration back in 2004, and it is impressive. I was not there yesterday, but from these pictures, I am sure yesterday's adventure was equally as thrilling.
Cassie received her test scores back, and she has been accepted into the Gifted and Talented Education program (GATE). She will not be movng classes or anything that would take her away from what she is currently doing. The program here allows these kids to go a little deeper into what they are already learning. They meet as a group as are given some extra subject matter on what they were taught earlier in the day. For us, we think it will keep Cassie from getting bored during school.
The new swimming practices have been tough on Cassie. Now, the coaches work them the full 90 minutes, and want them to be working hard all the time. She has been called out by her coach a couple of times, but it is good for her. Tough in practice, makes it easier when you compete.
I don't want it to sound like I am looking for her to be the next Jenna Thompson, as I'm not. But I do want her to work hard and try her best at all times. Where that takes her afterwards is just bonus in my eyes.
We recieved our Flat Stanley today, along with some pictures and a T-shirt. Thanks, Kellie. Mr. Stanley is going to have a fun time.
Work, work, work, so it is time to go.
- Free checks for everyone. Well, almost everyone.
- Lots of new cars.
Until the next time.....

Looks like Morgan had a SUPER time. What a neat experience!!
Good job for Cassie!! She is doing awesome in many ways. You know it is because I taught her, right????? ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
....that was my thought. Only because of her superior past teachers. Clearly--good genes help too. ; )
Morgan... now, why didn't I think of that? Genetics, hmm... he hee
Yes, you two are something else when it comes to the brains. I only added to that. lol
Congrats to Cassie! Morgan, did they let you fly? :)
