Stack it Up

Bailey has found yet another way to use her super competitive side.  She has fallen in love with Cup Stacking.  I first saw Cup Stacking when I worked at the U of MN and one of our students, Emmy,  held the world record.  We would try to convince her any chance we got to show us how crazy fast she could actually stack these plastic cups.  Well, Cup Stacking is now part of the curriculum at Bailey's school to work on hand/eye coordination in gym class (where were things like this when I was in school????  I definitely would have been much better at something like this than Basketball or anything else where a ball was flying at my face)

I emailed Emmy and yesterday a package of autographed cups, timer and a speed mat arrived at our door.  Needless to say, Bailey was SOOOOOO  excited.  She was a bit confused when Brent was able to tie her score on the first try but she told me she is just warming up and will be able to go much faster.

As for our trip, Bailey has gotten a few more clues.  Here are her guesses:
Clue: There is snow here even when it is summertime 

Her guess: the desert?????   (we really need to bump up that weather/climate/geography lesson because we were looking for the answer of the mountains) Clue: You will see a light show above your head Her Guess/Question: "So will this light show be happening the whole time?  Like when I am in the car I can look up and see a light show?  I think that sounds like something that happens in Mexico". Yes Bailey, if you take the right kind of things in Mexico I am sure a light show will appear any time you look up.   The right guess on that one was the Fremont Street Experience in Vegas with all the light and laser shows downtown. She has made one request, she said since we will be driving that we should probably stop at any garage sales we see or any Storage Wars to see if we can find either some treasures or Justice clothes.  Yep that is my kid!!!!!
