Maysen and the Zoo

Maysen had her first real day of volunteering at the zoo. It went better than she had hoped for. They asked her to do some e-papers. I honestly can't remember what they are called, but she was able to observe four different animals and write down what they did for 15 minutes. She will definitely be able to relate this to studying animal behavior. I am so impressed with the zoo. They are asking Maysen to do things that will be best for her, not necessarily what they need done. Although my neighbor Kristen told Maysen that they must trust her if they asked her to do the e things. Anyways, I am so excited for Maysen! She sounded so happy too.

Stockton went bowling today. He needed to bowl four games to qualify for a chance to be on the competitive bowling team. He had done two games earlier, so the total is six. Stockton's average ended up being 123.5. He had one poor game with 101, but he did have a game that was 149. Hopefully he makes it, he would love it. The teacher in charge of the bowling is his statistics teacher. Stockton keeps talking about how he can't believe the statistics teacher is using such an incredibly small sample size. Ha!

Mike came home and packed things up for him and Preston to go to the cabin. A few days ago we noticed how cold it was getting up there, and we haven't winterized it yet. Mike decided to stop by and say hi to Maysen on the way to the cabin. It is about an extra hour to do that, but then he gets to see Maysen. I packed up some things to have him bring her. Shoes, boots, gloves and ear warmers that would be great for the zoo. Mike took Maysen and Preston out to eat. Preston looks excited.

The theater was having a fundraiser at a dessert place called Create. Jorja wanted to go. She was able to convince Stockton and Evan to go with her. Evan is my favorite. Well, now he is tied with Drew as my favorite because he lost points when he admitted he used to like the song Set Fire to the Rain. I hate that song. It makes no sense. How can you set fire to rain? Why does she keep repeating that phrase over and over? So annoying. Anyways, Evan makes Jorja happy and that makes me happy. Evan is one of Isaac's (and Jorja's) best friends and is super nice to everyone. It was nice for Jorja to get out of the house with a friend. I'm glad Evan was willing to come along.
