Egg Drop


The twins had to build devices to protect eggs from a two-story drop for science class this past week... click here to see some of their successful - and unsuccessful - prototypes.

Sailing Team



The photo above was taken in Bellingham, Washington, at a team-racing regatta Drew attended this past weekend. Below is a photo of Team Lincoln - a great group of sailors whom Drew is fortunate to sail with this season! 



Shakespeare

Here is a link to the twins and their classmates Mattie and Chris performing a scene from Romeo & Juliet in preparation for their upcoming trip to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland.

DI State Tournament


Here are photos from our weekend in Corvallis for the State Destination Imagination Tournament.

Jake's team, the CanDI Rappers, placed 2nd in the Hold It Challenge. They did a great job making their structure as light as possible... only 18 grams, while still holding nearly 200 lbs of weigh and 19 golf balls (each of which added an additional 50lbs to their score).


Emily's team, Chopsticks, took first in the World Canvas Challenge. They chose not to advance to Global Finals this year, but had a wonderful finish to their DI season with a 1st place finish, plus a Spirit of Discovery Award and a fun weekend with friends.


Congratulations to all our friends on other DI teams - both in Oregon and Massachusetts!
