Cora: Big Win, Big Flight

When we returned from the Central Coast, we found that the big rainstorm had felled one of the pine trees at Meadows Park, one of the ones the kids loved to climb. So long, shady friend! Sad to see you go.

On Wednesday was the Science Fair, and Cora spent part of her morning presenting her project to the judges, who were mainly Master's University science majors.

In the evening, we all went to the awards ceremony, where we got to check out all the projects.

None of us have ever seen Cora's face quite as joyous as it was when she was called out as the 2nd place winner for her grade.

So proud of this girl!

On Thursday morning, we took a before-school trip to Chick-Fil-A, where we all got a free breakfast sandwich.

On Friday afternoon, Cora and I took a birthday field trip to CityWalk with Sophia and Sue and friends. Thanks to Sue and Pauly, Cora and the other kids got to experience IFly, a skydiving simulator.

She went so high! It was so much fun to watch, and also to experience.

After the flying, we all went and had pizza. Cora and I shared one, and I thought it came out so pretty.
