This morning started with a full schedule. First stop was to the school to watch Alyssa launch her rocket that she had made at Starbase. For 5 weeks her class has been going to the local military base once a week for classes. They have been learning all kinds of things, but one of the main focuses has been on learning how to make their dreams a reality. The slogan of the program is dreams plus action equal reality. Jason and I were pretty impressed with what we saw and were happy that she had the opportunity to participate in this program. We watched as the children were presented challenges and we saw the look of pride and accomplishment on each child's face when they successfully launched the rockets they had created! It was one of those awesome parenting moments! :o)

The rest of the day was filled with appointments that always seem to equal LOTS of waiting!! Thankfully all worked out and the waiting was not in vain...this time! lol
