Lego Robotics and 40 and FABULOUS!

We had a very busy weekend. Nate had a Lego Robotics tournament all day Saturday. His team is called The Oddbots and they have worked very hard building and programing their robot. It is really cool how these kids, with some adult help, learn to build and program a robot to complete a task. They are then judged and scored points based on their robot's performance. There were approximately 46 teams competing! The Oddbots did very well considering they just started their team in October and they are all just 9 years old. Some teams have members as old as 14.

Meet the Oddbots!

In between some rounds of competition, they had dancing. Check out these Oddbots doing their "thang".


Then Saturday night we went to my sister MIchelle's 40th Surprise Party! There was good food, dancing, drinking and great company! We all had a great time celebrating with Michelle and visiting with family!
