What's happenin' with Gracie?

 Gracie's Tiger Trek class made pinball machines.  They had a Physics Expo that the parents were invited to so we could see their projects.  They learned the Laws of Motion and then worked as teams to build pinball machines.  They were able to bring their own items from home and use their imaginations along with what they learned about motion to build them.  It was so fun to see all of their creative ideas!
 


Gracie and Phil got to go to a "Father Daughter Dance"  at the school.  Gracie was SO excited.  And honestly, Phil was really excited to take her.  However, beforehand Phil asked me how long it would last and I told him 2 hours.  I saw his jaw drop and his eyes glaze over as he was thinking, how in the heck am I going to dance for 2 HOURS!  So funny.  Gracie was making him practice picking her up and twirling her around in the air.  She kept saying she hoped there would be some hip hop to dance to.  I know she completely expected Phil to bust out the moves he does at home.  But if you know us and our dancing skills, then it's best they stay within the walls of our home. :)  At the dance the dad's pretty much hung out together and and all the girls ran around screaming and playing.  When they came home Gracie was crying because her stomach hurt.  Apparently she had been running like crazy for two hours and then just before they left she drank two cups of punch and got a belly ache.  :(  Good times!
