Mission to Mars

LIFT OFF: Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, CJ has spent all day (from 8:30 to 5:30 p.m.) at The Museum of Flight for his Western Aerospace Scholars summer experience.

Below is a schedule of events for those three days.
In a couple of hours, we'll be headed to the closing presentation and awards ceremony. We're eager to see how his Mars mission stacks up! He wasn't feeling super confident when he left this morning, but hopefully today he and his team got some real progress made. Time will tell. ... 

COMPLETE: CJ has completed his first ever Perler Bead art project.

He carefully followed the pattern, placing each little bead just so, and in the end he produced this colorful Boston Terrier.
Once all the pieces were in place, it was time to melt them together with an iron. Once that was complete, the piece was mounted to a canvas using spray adhesive, and it now hangs in CJ's room.

I think he really enjoyed doing this, and hope that he tries another project again soon.

IN BLOOM: Yesterday we spent a couple of hours out in the yard, mowing, and weed 'eating,' and such.

I stopped several times to admire the blooms around this place.
And where there were blooms, there were bees!

Little bumble bees seemed to love this lavender.
And I spied our honeybees out and about, as well! I love the detail of the wings in the photo below.

I caught the bee below in flight.

And check out the eyes on this guy (below)!
