We've been pretty busy the last week entertaining our favorite
grandsons (our only grandsons!) while Mom and Dad have been
away. Who needs aerobics when you're chasing a 4 and 2 year
old!
The Cowboys
Sandi Kimbell and I thought it would be great fun to round up
all our grandkids and go to the SAC Air & Space
Museum - didn't know there was a robotics championship
going on! We had to park so far away, we had to ride a
shuttle bus to the front door. One newspaper account says
there were over 800 kids signed up - that doesn't reflect all
the proud parents, grandparents, referees and judges, and
people who just happen to wander in, like us. It was still worth
the trip and if you haven't been there, you really should
go - just check out the event schedule first!
