The last month or two have been busy as the end of the school year always is. Our main goal has been to get our grass in. Over spring break we were able to get our sprinkler System in, and a couple of weeks ago we laid sod. It is awesome how big a difference a little grass can make. Don't get me wrong we still have a ton of work to do.
Sydney also had her end of the year band concert. It is fun to see how much better they get each year. She has loved playing the trumpet and is excited for another year of band.
Sydney also had the opportunity to represent Wyoming at the National Science Olympiad Competition in Lincoln, Nebraska. Science Olympiad is a National Science competition, first schools have to compete at the state level and each state gets to send one high school and one middle school team to represent their state. Riverton Middle school won the state competition for Wyoming. A team consists of 15 students and they compete in 30 different subjects, from bridge building to insect identification (entomology). She was gone for 6 days and had an awesome experience.
The Opening Ceremonies started with a parade of states. After the parade of states they had a few speakers and a physics professor gave a physics presentation. It is not the best picture but Sydney was picked to come up on stage and help with one of the professors experiments.
