So it is 100+ degrees right now AND we had the carpets cleaned today, so all the windows and doors have been open to dry out the carpets. That made the house VERY HOT!!! Luckily Shawn escaped from work early, so we headed out to have some fun in air conditioning.... the POWAY FUN BOWL!!! Logan has talked about bowling forever, since we watched some families bowl at a hotel we stayed at near the grand canyon, not last winter but the winter before.

After shoes were changed, we headed to our lane... thrilled to toss that ball down and smash those pins to bits... in reality, the ball usually made it down to the pins, although we had the ball rescued SEVERAL times because it stopped before it made it all the way down, at a speed that might outrace a snail. But we were cool and that was very important!!

The next Edison?? Franklin?? Einstein???

You be the judge.... This was completely Logan's design, he wanted to make headphones to help him be a better spy... (it's best not to ask, just help find the materials)

Heroes we need

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgNZaNSUpZg This link will take you to a video made by a teacher at a middle school in my school district. This budget crisis has hit us hard. The entire state of California will be loosing some very talented teachers because they don't want to live in limbo wondering if they will have a job next fall or not. It is sickening to see the government play around with the education system like this. If you so desire, write a letter to your representatives letting them know your thoughts and opinions. This link will take you to a site that can help you find your representatives http://www.ninthdistrictpta.org/ Act soon, we have 2 weeks before the governor does the "May Revise" of the budget.
