humanities field trip

Tuesday we had a humanities fieldtrip. Here are some important words and facts that we learned at the DaVinci exhibit in Spokane:
The Vitruvian Man is the naked guy in the circle and square.
The Mona Lisa has no facial hair
The Air Screw was a prototype of the helicopter.
There is no such thing as a Perpetual motion machine.
DaVinci, a brilliant inventor, rarely finished anything he started.
Mongolian Grill is a better buffet than the Old Country Buffet.

This is Max's rendition of the Vitruvian Man
Summer is finely here so we are making up for lost time at the lake. Thursday we went to Rock Lake as a family. Friday we joined the Workmans at Boyer to celebrate Oakley's birthday. Saturday we went to Boyer with the Heiner family. The weather was perfect and other than a pulled hamstring (Bruce Heiner) and a lost pair of shoes (Marcos), the day was perfect.


I dropped Wilson off at Hainsworths this morning. He is off to EFY in Nauvoo. I hope it is a wonderful experience.
