Bombs Away!

Today Dylan participated in the 4th grade egg drop. He decided to make a parachute for his egg. We attached the parachute to a small box and crumpled new paper around the egg to help cushion it. The whole 4th grade was challenged to make up ways to prevent the egg from breaking. The contraptions were lifted to the roof of the school and released to see if the egg would survive the fall. Dylan's egg made a successful landing. The parachute open only partially opened but it was enough to break most of the fall allowing the box to land gently. Way to go Dylan!!



Waiting his turn.

I remember this from elementary school... congrats to him on a fantastic job! We changed email, and I lost your message. I have to tell you that you were always such a sweetheart in high school, and always smiling!!! One day maybe we could reconnect when we are down in SLC. I'm glad your life has turned out so great!
