This past weekend I tried to organize (at last minute of course) a meet up for Lydia with her book battle team. The only one who responded was a girl who was hoping to get on as stand in. Her team lost a few weeks ago. Apparently the third grade was never allowed to compete before. This little girls mother volunteers in the school and instigated the third grades participation. So she has a bit invested and would like to see her daughter involved.
Since we only heard back from them, we decided to do a playdate and take this child with us to a sort of science fair called "Chick Tech". When I picked her up, the mom said that she had gotten a text from one of the other moms about meeting up at Dairy Queen, the girls of course wanted to go. I was wary as I had received no response or invite. We went and quickly realized that we had crashed another play date. A few classmates were invited, we were not. It was pretty awkward and I am so grateful that Ed was there with me. I can't imagine having to sit there with the elephant on my lap!
We had ice cream and left for our thing. "Chick Tech" is a program that encourages teenage girls to develop an interest in technology. Both Lydia and her friend have some interest, so while it was not a blast for them, it wasn't a total bore.

These next are going to "Chick Tech"
This was a lovely walk on the grounds:
This is the "Moon tree" on the old horse track on the Estate grounds:
Shhh! Don't tell!
