Cleveland and the Dunes

Here's E packing last night for her Cleveland trip. Yes, she's packing her algebra book to study for a test on Monday. (I'm not betting on much studying getting accomplished). This morning, E got up at 3:45 a.m. and hopped in the car. Andy picked up her friend, A, and even took B along - not sure why he was up that early. They ran through Dunkin' Donuts for some munchkins (B got a doughnut for himself) and hopped on the bus for Cleveland. E was going with the Julian band; A with the chorus. They're visiting the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame/Museum today, taking a dinner cruise tonight, Cedar Point amusement park tomorrow then home on Sunday. E was so excited!!

I took the day to accompany B's field trip to the Indiana Dunes. The kids learned some pretty interesting things about science and water. Here they're sitting on the dune (Lake Michigan is on the other side) and they're examining the texture of sand. They tested water for insects and ph levels. A couple of the kids slipped on the mud and slid into the water. B even sat by me on the bus. Pretty brave for a sixth-grade boy, I'd say.
