Back to state finals!

Evan got the chance to compete in DI state finals for the second year in a row.  He loves this stuff and he is great at it.  For a shy not super social kid somehow he manages to be an amazing leader.  


All ready to head to the campus for his Instant Challenge.



Hailey decided to bring Evan's stuffie Laddie along thinking it would be a surprise to Evan and maybe good luck. 


He was excited to have Laddie and maybe the luck worked since they scored 95 out of 100 on their Instant Challenge.


An hour or so later we trekked across campus to watch them in their Central Challenge - this is the skit part they have to perform.


Hailey watching the team before them through the window and with a little help from Daddy.


Performing their skit.  It was about a science lab with genetically mutated owls and zombies.  Evan was a bounty hunting tracker.  He wrote most of the script by himself.  It was pretty creative.





 After the performance.


It was a gorgeous day - it felt like summer.  It was an amazing day to walk around campus.  We had to get the traditional picture in the quad.


We ate lunch and then went geocaching to a frisbee golf course where we found a "mustache cache".


The kids were mostly excited to get back to our hotel so they could swim in the pool.




We went for an early dinner before the awards assembly to celebrate a fun weekend and a job well done.



Evan relaxing after a long day. (With his mustache and Laddie and drink from the restaurant) They scored 9th out of twelve - he was not too disappointed.  He shouldn't be - he did an amazing job leading his team all the way to State!
