Last week Carol and I spent 5 days at the A.C.E. Student Convention. Our school took 23 students. There were approximately 200 students at the event. We competed in sporting events, art, photography, singing, instrumentals, chess, checkers, spelling...We had a great week!

Carol and I came back completely exhausted! We rose each morning at 4:45 to attend a 5:00 a.m. sponsors meeting...and that was the beginning of our non-stop day until we would crash at about 11:00 p.m. where the girls would take pictures of us sleeping. :) gotta love teenagers!

Our kids had a great time and did very well in their competitions.
