Audrey's Destination Imagination Team, Kinexx, won first place at their regional tournament in February, which earned them the chance to compete at the state level. The competition was held in South Texas, on the coast, in Corpus Christi. Neal took all three kids with him to the event, leaving me time to spend with Natalie--kidless! It was a win-win for everyone. They had a great time. I took all of these photos from Neal's phone.
The Awards Ceremony. Team Kinexx earned ninth place out of twenty teams. Their Instant Challenge score was the highest among all of their competitors, but the judges must have scored eight teams' presentations higher. Alas. They were proud of their performance, but the journey ends here this year. They are determined to make it to Globals again next year. If we can survive another DI season, that is!
They stopped for lunch at one of our favorite Mexican spots, Chuy's, in Austin.
The beach!
Parker's beach hair. He has super dense, coarse, wavy hair. I can only imagine how hard it was to get it clean again!
The opening night's events were held on the aircraft carrier USS Lexington.
Pin trading!
